The "atomic wedgie" killer — who admitted having no excuse for his actions — was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in prison.
Brad Lee Davis, 35, of McLoud, pleaded guilty in May to first-degree manslaughter for killing his stepfather late Dec. 21, 2013, after a fight. He admitted to investigators he had done a bad thing, giving his stepfather a wedgie like something done in high school.
The victim, Denver Lee St. Clair, 58, died after he was knocked unconscious and the elastic band from his ripped underwear was pulled over his head. The band ended up pressed tightly against his throat, strangling him.
The judge said he was troubled Davis took cellphone photos of the unconscious victim even though the victim was gurgling and clearly in distress from the wedgie. The judge also agreed with prosecutors that Davis beat his stepfather with some kind of object and then staged the crime scene to make it look more like an all-out fight.
Davis described what he had done in interviews with investigators as an "atomic wedgie." That slang term is widely used for the most humiliating version of the underwear-yanking prank.
