Decatur Man Gets 55 Year Murder Sentence Reduced

A man sentenced to 55 years in prison for murder in 2014 is facing a reduced sentence.  Delmont Thomas Junior had his sentence cut in half Wednesday.  Thomas qualified for resentencing under a law that allows reconsideration for juveniles tried as an adult facing close to a life sentence.  He was 16-years old when he killed 41-year-old Brian Carney in 2011.
