Anthony Davon Parker will have nearly two decades in prison to think about the death of Quentavious Arrion Reese, but he will also be able to speak to his parents – something Reese can never do with his own parents again.

Parker’s attorney Emory Anthony asked for leniency in sentencing. Witnesses testifying on Parker’s behalf at Tuesday’s sentencing hearing stated Parker was a good athlete and kid.
