Two get prison sentences for 2007 murder
TweetYOUNGSTOWN — Two defendants in a North Side homicide that occurred two years ago were sentenced to prison today.
Tora Barnette, 21, of Upland Avenue, was sentenced to seven years in prison for his role in the death of David Clinkscale, 19, of Parkcliff Avenue, who was fatally shot in the back in a downstairs apartment in the 2300 block of Ohio Avenue.
Detectives said more than one person shot Clinkscale on Nov. 4, 2007.
Derrick Veal, 21, of Toledo, formerly of Youngstown, was sentenced to four years in prison.
The sentences can’t be appealed because they were agreed to by the prosecution and defense and adopted by the judge. Barnette and Veal will get credit for the 738 days they already have been jailed awaiting completion of their cases.

Nice 4 and 7 years for taking a life. But otheres will spend many more years in prison for less offenses. Let's see who they kill in 2014 and 2017.
That's less time than Traficant served.
Keep in mind: they will get credit for the 2 years they already spent in prison awaiting trial / verdict.
Let's see who they kill in 2012 and 2017.
Way to go, Judge Maureen Sweeney.
Way to go, Prosecutor Gains.
Tora Barnette.. is this individual related to Lorenza Barnette.. who was recently arrested on charges for double homicide?
