Teen Sentenced to Life for Walmart Shooting

An 18-year-old, Thomas Pickford, just received a 27-to-life sentence in New Hampshire for shooting and killing 17-year-old Christian Walker in a Walmart parking lot last summer. Pickford admitted guilt to reckless second-degree murder, and while he may reduce his minimum time by up to four years through good behavior and education, he apologized to Walker’s family during sentencing, calling Walker kind and saying he himself deserves the punishment. The case, now legally closed, underscores the devastating impact of youth violence. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
