Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for at least 10 years. His parole eligibility will be determined by a judge at sentencing. He was one of three people charged in the death of the 26-year-old. Adam Robichaud and Brandon LeBlanc have yet to stand trial.
