The sentencing is always cathartic and important but no coverage can heal the trauma suffered by this family

 

Child abuse suspect Pamela Millsap was to be sentenced on 12/18. Motion to continue by Conflict Counsel was granted and sentencing proceeded today. Judge Kaleb Cockrum sentenced Millsap to 9 years, 4 months. You can read Judge Cockrum's ruling regarding one of the special allegations and see the breakdown of the terms imposed and the total amount of custody credits in the court minutes.

I covered this case regularly and in detail, including the verdict. The details of the case are well known. Jurors, community members, those affected by this case have been waiting a long time for sentencing.

Millsap's 10 year old daughter saw her brother get shot by her mother. The sentencing is always cathartic and important but no coverage can heal the trauma suffered by this family. The horrific details and facts of the case have been covered in the preliminary hearing, the trial and in previous coverage since 2020.
