LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 33-year-old inmate no longer faces life in prison for a 1998 Lincoln slaying.

Court records say Jerrold McLeod was 16 when he and 19-year-old Ronald O’Neill broke into an apartment on May 10, 1998, in an attempt to rob a cocaine dealer. O’Neill fired a shotgun blast that killed the man’s 15-year-old son. O’Neill and McLeod were convicted of first-degree murder and given life in prison.

McLeod sought resentencing after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June 2012 that people convicted as juveniles cannot be locked up for life without the chance of parole.

On Thursday, Judge Paul Merritt Jr. vacated the original sentence and gave McLeod to 50 to 75 years in prison, which means he’ll have eight more years to serve before he becomes eligible for parole.
