  Dad. Written by Tom Collins This article is being read by an

• 0:20
  convicted of killing his dad on Father's Day weekend and was sentenced
• 0:24
  to 52 years in prison. Now it's 67 years. Petre twenty three,
• 0:29
  formerly of Marseille, wasn't given due over proceedings and his fifty two
• 0:34
  year murder sentence hasn't been overturned. Instead he's since been convicted of
• 0:38
  home invasion and must, by statute, serve that sentencing.
• 0:42
  Back to back with his time for strangling father Leo Petre. Wednesday
• 0:46
  Petra learned his aggregate prison term. He was sentenced to an additional
• 0:50
  fifteen years for home invasion. That add on sentence means he'd be
• 0:54
  in his early eighties before becoming eligible for parole. Petra didn't say
• 0:58
  much at sentencing. No thanks, the twenty three year old replied when
• 1:02
  offered a chance to address his sentencing judge. Prosecutors actually asked for
• 1:07
  twenty years for home invasion, but LaSalle County State's attorney Joe Navarro
• 1:11
  said he was, on balance, pleased that Petre has drawn a near
• 1:15
  life sentence for the crime spree culminating in Leo murder. I think
• 1:20
  he deserves to spend the whole time there, Navarro said, every day.
• 1:24
  Logan
• 1:24
  Petre actually was charged with home invasion. Before he killed Leo Prey,
• 1:29
  though prosecutors opted to try the charges in reverse order. At a
• 1:33
  bench trial, Logan Petray tried to argue self defense, but the judge
• 1:37
  in that case ruled that Leo was choked well past the point
• 1:40
  where he'd have lost consciousness. Citing the medical testimony, Circuit Judge Michelle
• 1:45
  a Vescony ruled it was murder and not self defense. Logan Paytre
• 1:50
  was When
• 1:50
  bounced to Chief Judge H. Chris Ryan Jr. Quote S courtroom to
• 1:54
  face home invasion. Prosecutors said he barged into the home of a
• 1:58
  former friend, threatened to kill the occupant and hurt him during the
• 2:01
  ensuing struggle. A jury deliberated briefly and convicted Logan Paytrae of home
• 2:06
  invasion. At Sentencing Wednesday, Petray's lawyer made a last ditch effort to
• 2:11
  overturn the conviction. Public defender Ryan Hamer said The facts supported a
• 2:15
  lesser charge of criminal trespass to a residence and that Petray was
• 2:19
  overcharged. When Ryan
• 2:22
  disagreed and denied the bid for acquittal or new proceedings, Hamer pushed
• 2:26
  for a minimum sentencing and argued Petrae had a relatively light record
• 2:30
  before the home invasion and murder. He was on the right track
• 2:34
  for the majority of his young life, Hamer said. Assistant LaSalle County
• 2:38
  State's Attorney Kelly Porter asked for 20 years, citing not only the
• 2:43
  physical damage P Tray inflicted during the home invasion but the emotional
• 2:47
  damage. The occupants were traumatized and have since kept their doors secured
• 2:51
  at all times. Those victims deserve justice, Porter argued. Ryan largely sided
• 2:57
  with the prosecution and handed down a term in the median of
• 3:00
  Petra's sentencing range of 6 to 30 years. The Illinois Department of
• 3:05
  Corrections has yet to update Patre's projected release date. After sentencing for
• 3:10
  murder, Peyre was targeted for release in June 2076, a few months
• 3:15
  before his 74th birthday. The home invasion sentence is subject to day
• 3:20
  for day good time, which means Patrey could serve an additional 7.5
• 3:25
  years after completing his murder sentence. That would put him about 82
• 3:29
  years of age at release.
