Another St Joe man charged with murder during a home invasion robbery has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term.
Buchanan County Circuit Judge Dan Kellogg ordered Kasey Hall, 20, to serve 20 years in prison, the maximum term for his guilty plea to one count of second degree murder. Under Missouri law, Hall must serve 17 years behind bars before he can be considered for parole.
Xavier Johnson, who also pleaded guilty, was sentenced earlier to 20 years in prison.
A third murder suspect, Elijah Pickett, is scheduled for trial in January.
Prosecutors says Hall’s cooperation with authorities made it possible for them to charge two other men with attempted robbery and murder. Officials believe Felix Turner and Camareo Goodwin pointed the other three suspects to Ulmer’s home where the stick up and shooting occured last August.
Pre-trial motions are pending in the case against Goodwin, who was granted his request for a new judge, and awaits a hearing on a motion for a change of venue. Turner is scheduled for arraignment Thursday.
