Man i Mississippi får 10 års fängelse för att ha dödat sin far

En 27-årig man från Mississippi erkände sig skyldig till dråp och dömdes till 10 års fängelse för att ha skjutit sin far till döds under ett gräl 2022.

Jeffrey Young Jr. erkände sig skyldig i fredags i 9th District Circuit Court inför domare Toni Terrett. Han dömdes till 40 års fängelse, varav 10 år ska avtjänas i statligt fängelse för dödsfallet av hans far, Jeffrey Young Sr.

Skjutningen ägde rum i juli 2022 vid ett hem på Castle Road i bostadsområdet Camelot Estates i Warren County, strax söder om Vicksburg. Enligt myndigheterna föregicks händelsen av ett kort gräl om bilhögtalare, under vilket Young Jr. sköt sin far flera gånger på framsidan av huset.

Under domstolsförhandlingen vittnades det om en historia av påstådda övergrepp från offrets sida, inklusive vittnesmål från familjemedlemmar och vittnen om alkoholrelaterat våld. Åklagarna påpekade att fadern hade ryggen vänd mot sonen och inte utgjorde något hot vid tidpunkten för skjutningen.

Young Jr. uttryckte ånger i domstolen och uppgav att hans far hade pressat honom för långt den dagen. Offrets syster bad domaren att utdöma det högsta möjliga straffet.
