During a hearing Tuesday morning, Daugherty’s stepfather testified. Channel 11’s Jennifer Tomazic reported that he pointed at Marinucci and said, “Her body was destroyed by you six.”
Bobby Murphy pleaded with the judge not to reduce the sentence.
“You’re going to be Jennifer’s last voice,” he said.
Marinucci was originally sentenced to life in prison, but since that sentencing courts have ruled that juveniles 17 years old or younger cannot be sentenced to life in prison.
Testimony resumes Wednesday.
