Ryans father yells an expletive at Semmie as he’s taken out of court

The sentence is 35 years

The judge is speaking now.

The defense is up right now asking the judge to go light on him and use “discretion” and the attorney is talking about intellectually disabled individuals. Well just remember, he changed his plea to not guilty, did not want to use an insanity defense.

Semmie forced to stop by the judge. Now we are in the argument part of this sentencing. The lawyers can talk through what they want to happen. Remember, the death penalty is off the table. But the judge can sentence to life.

Now Semmie, rambling, is trying to spin conspiracy theories. Like when he took the stand in his own defense at trial.

Semmie says he was “set up” and is playing to the tv cameras now asking the public to send him money.
