Wrangell Sentinel -

Steve Marshall went before the Honorable Judge William Carey Tuesday to be sentenced in an ongoing case which led to a week-long trial in June.

Marshall was sentenced in court to 15 years with five suspended and five years of probation after being released on the Assault in the First Degree charge and was sentenced to 150 days for the Assault in the Third Degree.

Marshall had 25 letters of support that were submitted to the Judge, which was stated to be significant. The Honorable Judge William Carey stated that he did find the defendant to be “unstable” although he stated Marshall seems to be working towards a strong rehabilitation while he was incarcerated since the date of the offense.

The offense took place on Dec. 7, 2011. In the trial that ended June 8, 2013 the twelve-member jury found him guilty of Assault in the First Degree and Assault in the Third Degree.

Marshall is also set to go to trial for a charge that was brought against him while being incarcerated at Ketchikan Correctional Center next month.
