PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon man whose 2007 sexual assault conviction was overturned has been retried and convicted again.
This time, Joseph Worth received a sentence of up to 120 years — triple the prison sentence he received in his original trial.
The Oregonian reports Judge Janice Wilson used Worth’s declaration in 2007 that he “should have just killed” the victim to hand down a harsher sentence.
Worth was convicted of cutting the then 17-year-old girl with a pocket knife, choking her and sexually assaulting her in a portable toilet.
