(FOX)- Prosecutors describe 22-year-old Christopher Lee Cornell’s “post-arrest conduct and misconduct” as unusual in a sentencing memorandum filed this week ahead of a Dec. 5 sentencing hearing.
They want a judge to sentence him to 30 years in prison after he pleaded guilty earlier this year to three charges.
Cornell’s attorneys will state their recommendations on sentencing later.
Attorney Martin Pinales (PIN’-el-is) says the case is “much more complex” than the prosecution outlines.
