Judge Larry Dunn said he considered Ramey's criminal history, intellectual ability and likelihood to repeat a similar crime when giving the sentence.
"This is a case that cried out for the maximum sentence," Dunn said at the sentencing hearing Thursday, where about 30 people, including Sabrina's family and close friends, were gathered in the Richland County court room. "Sabrina should only have had to worry about what was for dinner the next day on Thanksgiving, the Disney princesses she loved, and the only monster she should have worried about were animated monsters."
"Someone took a lot more than 60 years away from her," he said.
