Todays newpaper  Times Argus Staff - Published: February 28, 2009 BARRE – Joshua Darling was sentenced Friday to 14 to 15 years in prison for his role in the 2006 killing of James Saunders. Darling pleaded guilty to manslaughter and kidnapping last fall in a murder case that had seven defendants and involved the beating Saunders, who was 33 years old. The sentence Darling received Friday was almost exactly the same as the one included in the plea deal. The one difference is that the 14 to 15 years that Darling will receive for manslaughter will now run concurrently with the 20 years to life sentence that he got for kidnapping instead of consecutively. ________________________________ READER COMMENTS No comments.
