Life Without Parole for Colt Gray, 15 Years for the Father Who Bought the Rifle, the Clancy Jury Walks the House

Colin Gray, the father of Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray, was sentenced Thursday, July 30, to 15 years in prison — two days after Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm gave his 16-year-old son life without the possibility of parole. Colin Gray, 55, was convicted in March on 27 counts, including second-degree murder in the deaths of students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of teachers Richard "Ricky" Aspinwall, 39, and Cristina Irimie, 53. He is the first parent in the country convicted of murder over a school shooting carried out by his child. Prosecutors sought 80 years; the defense asked for 10; his attorney says he will appeal. Also: in Plymouth, Massachusetts, jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial heard from ten first responders Thursday before touring the Duxbury home Friday. Clancy has pleaded not guilty and contests criminal responsibility. And in Campbellsville, Kentucky, Charles Escalera was sentenced to 40 years, with parole eligibility after 20, for the 2024 strangulation of 18-year-old Josiah Kilman.Join our new FB groups page here.
