For the second straight day, Judge Daniel Creitz has doubled the recommended prison sentence of one of the defendants involved in Shawn Cooks murder.
On Tuesday, Creitz announced Rhonda Jackson, who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for her role in the March 2016 murder of the 33-year-old Iolan, will be sentenced to 98 months in prison, a shade more than eight years.
State sentencing guidelines, which weigh the severity of a crime with the defendants criminal history, prescribed a standard sentence of 49 months for Jackson.
