On Tuesday afternoon a 12-year-old Kosciusko County boy received a 30-year sentence with 5 years suspended for his role in the death of his friend's stepfather.
"I'm sorry for what happened to Mr. Danner and for what the Danner family must be going through. I'm very sorry for my actions," Paul Gingerich told the judge Tuesday.
In November, a judge accepted a guilty plea from Gingerich. He pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to commit murder charge in exchange for the prosecution dropping murder and aiding in murder charges.
His friend, 15-year-old Colt Lundy, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder. He received a 30-year prison sentence.
Police say the boys killed Lundy's stepfather, 49-year-old Phillip Danner, in April. They then drove to Illinois, where they were arrested.
Another 12 year old, who was outside the house when the shooting happened, will be in a juvenile detention facility until he turns 18.
On Tuesday the judge recommended that Gingerich be placed in a youth incarcerated as adults facility.
