A Vancouver man who was an accomplice in a home-invasion robbery that resulted in a slaying was sentenced this morning to 15 years in prison.
Joshua B. McAlexander was the third defendant this morning to be sentenced in connection to the murder of Charles N. Moore on Dec. 13, 2009.
McAlexander earlier pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree robbery. His defense attorney, Clark Fridley, told Clark County Superior Court Judge Roger Bennett that his client was not at all involved in planning the robbery, but came to “help” upon receiving a phone call from codefendant Caleb Soucy.
Fridley said McAlexander didn’t even want to carry a gun for fear that it would result in violence.
