Circuit Court Judge Bill Lewis reluctantly agreed to a plea deal for Efrem Brown to serve 25 years in prison for his part in Tony Carr’s 2018 murder.
“If you had been convicted of this, I would have sentenced you to 99 years,” Lewis said from the bench in an emotionally charged courtroom Tuesday. “I will respect the wishes of the family. They have been part of this discussion. I have been impressed this family has been here every step of the way.”
