Tennessee Man Convicted of Throwing Rock and Killing Woman Gets Sentence Reduced

A Knoxville judge resentenced a man convicted of throwing a rock from a Tennessee highway overpass, killing a woman in a vehicle below.

Following a ruling by the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals, Criminal Court Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz on Thursday, April 17, 2008, dropped a murder by destructive device conviction of Alford Lee Morgan.

She then sentenced Morgan to four years in prison for reckless homicide, which the jury had also returned in the death of Barbara Weimer.

Atop other sentences imposed earlier, Morgan now faces 18 years in prison, instead of the 65 years he previously had.

The incident occurred in May 2004.

What? So the DJ gets seven years for having child pron, not participating, just having it. And this guy gets a slap on the wrist for killing someone? Where is the justice here? I dont understand the sentencing guidelines here. The DJ got what he deserved, why not Alford Lee Morgan?

DJ would have gotten off lighter if he'd have raped and killed this kid instead of just having the goods.
