  by Everlett Logan. Patrie had another fifty years to go
• 0:22
  before getting parole after being convicted of killing his father.
• 0:26
  His wait just got longer. Tuesday, a LaSalle County jury
• 0:30
  convicted him of home invasion, a Class X felony carrying
• 0:33
  six to thirty years. The charge was incurred before Logan
• 0:37
  strangled his dad, Leo Petri, on Father's Day weekend twenty
• 0:41
  twenty four. By statute, however, his time for home invasion
• 0:44
  must be served back to back with his murder sentence.
• 0:48
  Petre will be sentenced at ten am September ninth in
• 0:51
  LaSalle County Circuit Court. He'll leave with a total somewhere
• 0:55
  between fifty eight and eighty two years for murder and
• 0:58
  home invasion. Who had been forcibly removed from his murder
• 1:02
  sentencing for disruptive behavior, was composed and showed no reaction
• 1:06
  Tuesday as the verdict was read, public defender Ryan Hamer
• 1:11
  deferred comment until sentencing. The home invasion was committed a
• 1:15
  full year before Marseille police found Leo Patrey dead in
• 1:18
  his home. A medical examiner determined he'd been strangled. At trial,
• 1:22
  a judge rejected Logan's self defense claim and convicted him
• 1:26
  of murder. But even after Logan Petray drew fifty two
• 1:30
  years for murder, LaSalle County prosecutors decided they weren't going
• 1:34
  to simply drop his remaining charges. Prosecutors had announced they'd
• 1:38
  pursue a home invasion on June sixteenth, twenty twenty three.
• 1:43
  The matter was settled Tuesday in a whirlwind trial that
• 1:45
  took less than four hours. A Marseille resident, Brenton Sampson,
• 1:50
  testified that Patrie entered his home uninvited and approached agitated
• 1:54
  and angry with me. Samson kicked out in self defense,
• 1:58
  and then the two of them tumbled to the ground
• 2:00
  in a struggle. I'm here to kill you, Petrus said,
• 2:03
  according to Samson's testimony, and you know why any IDEA
• 2:07
  prosecutor Kelly Porter asked why he wanted to kill you.
• 2:10
  I have no clue, Samson replied, But under cross examination,
• 2:15
  Samson acknowledged that Petrie had visited him at home hundreds
• 2:18
  of times and had never been asked to leave. Samson
• 2:21
  acknowledged it was possible he hadn't heard anyone knock before entering.
• 2:25
  The front door was unlocked, and there was no sign
• 2:27
  of forced entry. Logan made a mistake, Hamer aloud, but
• 2:31
  this was blown way out of proportion, but the jury
• 2:35
  deliberated a scant half hour before rejecting the defense arguments.
• 2:39
  During closing arguments, Porter said Petree checked every box for
• 2:43
  home invasion by threatening to kill Samson and beating him,
• 2:46
  but above all barging in without an invitation or justification.
• 2:51
  LaSalle County State's Attorney Joe Navarro said his team did
• 2:54
  a great job and confirmed that he pursued the home
• 2:57
  invasion to insure Petree doesn't get out of prison.
