The Lewiston Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/ytF5op) David Payton of Clarkston, Wash., was sentenced Monday to five years to life for the robbery and a fixed three years for aggravated assault.
Second District Judge Jeff M. Brudie said he did not take into consideration Payton’s age or the fact that he was shot nine times in handing down the sentence.
