Wollner Sentenced
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.
