Teen Convicted of Voluntary Manslaughter Learns His Sentence

A teenager who shot and killed a man who confronted him during car break-ins near Saint Albans got the maximum sentence Monday for the crime that he earlier admitted doing. Jimmy ā€œJJā€ Keith was killed and 17-year-old Eli Nelson admitted to the killing. Nelson was apologetic in court and said he was ready to take responsibility. He plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter and the judge gave him the maximum voluntary manslaughter sentence of 15 years. Nelson will be re-sentenced in January as an adult.
