  to you by Everlett Logan. Petray argued he didn't get
• 0:19
  a fair shake when he was sentenced for strangling his father.
• 0:21
  Murder trial Petre struck out and keeps his fifty two
• 0:25
  years in prison. There may be more prison time on
• 0:28
  the way. Petre, twenty three, formerly of Marseilles, appeared Friday
• 0:33
  in LaSalle County Circuit Court on twin matters. First, Petre
• 0:36
  had filed a motion to reconsider his sentence for first
• 0:39
  degree murder. Lasal County Circuit Judge michel A Vasconi denied
• 0:44
  that motion and upheld the fifty two years she gave
• 0:47
  him for killing Leo Petray. The denial, however, clears the
• 0:50
  way for Petra to appeal, but before any appeal goes forward,
• 0:54
  Petray will be back in LaSalle County Circuit Court on
• 0:57
  some still pending matters. Patrey is charged with home invasion
• 1:02
  feeld before Leo Patry's death on Father's Day weekend twenty
• 1:06
  twenty four, and with multiple counts of aggravated battery for
• 1:09
  fights in LaSalle County jail while he was awaiting trial.
• 1:13
  A conviction for home invasion would add six to thirty
• 1:16
  years on top of his fifty two year sentence for murder.
• 1:20
  The trial for home invasion in battery is set for
• 1:23
  June twenty second. Petrie will next appear on June seventeenth
• 1:27
  for a final pre trial conference. Most of Patriarch's charges
• 1:31
  were put on hold while Lasal County prosecutors brought him
• 1:34
  to trial on murder. Leo Patree was found beaten and
• 1:37
  fatally choked in his Marseilles home. Logan Patriy acknowledged inflicting
• 1:42
  the fatal injuries, but insisted he acted in self defense.
• 1:46
  At aventrial, Vescogni rejected self defense and convicted him of
• 1:49
  murder
