Justice!!

:rose: R.I.P. Kira :rose:

He is a monster. Noone - NOONE - deserves to die at the hands of another over rage, jealousy, spite, anger, or any other petty reason.

Thank you judge!! :gthanks:

Paul Blume ‏@PaulBlume_FOX9 31m Judge Castro believed Jeffery Trevino didn't set out to kill his wife Kira Steger. But the coverup absolutely was planned. "Cruel & selfish"

Could someone give me the legal theory behind doubling a sentence because the defendant tried to hide his crime? Do you only get the normal sentence if you turn yourself in?

GOOD! Justice handed down and well deserved. May Kira and her family have some sort of Peace eventually.

I am not a legal eagle, but I do not think it is solely because he tried to hide his crime. It was and has been about his lack of remorse; his cruelty in not just "hiding" his crime, but his "abuse of a corpse". Although he was only convicted of 2nd degree, he certainly took his own pleasure in killing a woman he professed to love.

IMHO :moo: of course!

I don't mean to argue with you, but I don't think "lack of remorse" entered in to the sentencing. I just never heard of this kind of sentence. I'm currently following the Anarae Schunk case. Her ex boyfriend is a poi in the case. Her body was found in a ditch with 20 stab wounds. If he is charged and convicted will his sentence double because he caused pain to her family by disposing of her body?

The article I linked above has been updated:

http://www.startribune.com/local/east/233333381.html

"Castro did not grant the defense’s earlier motion for acquittal. Castro also said there were aggravating factors, opening the door to the longer sentence.

Assistant Ramsey County Attorney Andrew R.K. Johnson requested the 30-year sentence based on aggravating factors prosecutors believe exist: Trevino didn’t provide medical aid to Steger, and he disposed of her body and didn’t tell anyone. Castro ruled that those aggravating factors did exist, meriting a prison sentence beyond state sentencing guidelines."

You get more time because in killing someone you didn't try to save them? Wow, that's unbelievable. Plus he disposed of her body and didn't tell anyone. That means he got 15 more years for not turning himself in.

That hope led Marcie Steger to take part in a national television show about her daughter’s murder, which airs Thursday night.

The Investigation Discovery channel’s “Ice Cold Killers” one-hour show this week is about the Kira Steger case from nearly four years ago.

I am thoroughly disgusted by all the victim blaming in this thread.Glad justice was served and I wish the sentence was longer.
