He was accused of the murder of a 69-year-old Crooked Tree resident, but Maurice Usher pleaded guilty to manslaughter and will only spend 10 years in jail.
Justice Derick Sylvester handed down his sentence today for the death of Geoffrey Crawford which occurred on September 29, 2021.
Justice Sylvester noted the early guilty plea which took a third of the time off his sentence and when added to his time on remand, he told Usher Jr. that he only had 10 years 9 days left to serve behind bars.
Another man Patrick Young Jr. was charged for the murder last year, but his case is in the early stages.
