VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - The primary defendant in the April 2017 beating and fatal shooting of a man at a Hockinson property was sentenced Friday to about 70 years in prison.
A Clark County Superior Court jury found Neil Alway guilty last month of first- and second-degree murder, and two counts each of kidnapping and robbery in the death of Raymond C. Brandon, The Columbian reported.
Three co-defendants who agreed to testify against Alway at trial were sentenced earlier. John West and Traci Mendez received about 18 years for second-degree murder, and Ashley Wideman received a suspended sentence and credit for time served for unlawful imprisonment and rendering criminal assistance.
