So Illinois Teen Sentenced to 60 years for Murder

A southern Illinois man has been sentenced to the maximum of 60 years in prison for his role in the 2010 killing of a 15-year-old girl.
Perry County Circuit Judge James Campanella sentenced 18-year-old James Glazier on Wednesday. Campanella found Glazier guilty in July of first-degree murder in the killing of Sidnee Stephens. Glazier had waived his right to a jury trial.  A second suspect, Carl Dane, pleaded guilty last year. He was found dead in his jail cell the day he was to be transferred to prison to begin serving a 60-year sentence. A third defendant, 16-year-old Robbie Mueller, still faces trial. Mueller has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, kidnapping and home invasion.
Glazier's attorney says he plans to appeal.
