- Sentencing in 2016 Lakeland murder
- Kaelin McKinzie Moody, 22, sentenced to 15 years in prison
- Moody testified against co-defendant Donovan Wilson, who received life in prison
Kaelin McKinzie Moody, 22, was sentenced Thursday by Circuit Judge Jalal Harb on murder charges in the 2016 killing of 35-year-old Eric Dontay Ackerman.
Prosecutors had offered Moody a plea deal for testifying against his co-defendant.
In his testimony, Moody said he and 30-year-old Donovan Wilson intended to rob Ackerman at his Lakeland home.
Moody identified Wilson as the gunman. Wilson was convicted of first-degree murder in March and received a life sentence.
Harb also ordered Moody to 10 years of probation after prison. Moody has been in custody since his arrest in May 2016 and was given credit for time he has served.
