The sentencing was postponed numerous times over the previous three months, and at one point Tory pleaded with the court, "Please don't ruin my life, sir."
He was convicted of shooting Megan in December, as People reported. Tory was held responsible for careless discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic weapon, and possession of a loaded, unlicensed firearm. Following the judgement, numerous members of Tory's family, including his father and stepmother, exclaimed, "This system stands before God!"
