Trestin Wollner has received 11 years in prison for murder.
This
follows Tuesday's conviction in the death of Sam Harrison at a party
near Dove Creek the day before Christmas Eve 2012.
The
district attorney's office says the then-17-year-old Wollner shot the
19-year-old Harrison with a shotgun. The two of them and a couple
other people at the party had a fight at some point in the
evening.
The office says Harrison lay down in a truck bed,
only to have Wollner approach the truck with the shotgun. Harrison
only wore boxers and socks as he approached Wollner in what witnesses
described as between a power walk and a jog.
Assistant
district attorney Jason Ferguson calls the right to self-defense an
important one, but not an excuse to kill.
Wollner must serve
five and a half years before any prospect of parole.
