I think he might get the maximum, which would not have happened if he'd just taken responsibility for what he did. He pretty much did the opposite and that will be taken into consideration.
i noticed you " smokepole " felt this might happen ? but it didn`t . > right or wrong this muzzle loader shooter may ask for another trial yet ?
You're right pete, I thought he'd get a longer sentence, wishful thinking on my part. And he should have gotten a longer sentence. He pulled the trigger, the bowhunter died, yet he thinks he's "not guilty" and caused the people of Colorado to pay for not one, but two trials. I don't know how the judge came up with the sentence, but just the fact that he didn't step up and take responsibility would've colored my thinking if I was making the decision.
