Sentencing in 'brutal' murder

Posted

The four people who murdered and robbed a 62-year old man in Clinton County last year were sentenced Monday. Mitchell Ballinger, Dominique Harris, and Manuel Martinez will all serve a minimum of 38-years in prison for killing Jeffrey Kebler.

Alexis Pena could be out in 20-years because she agreed to testify against the others.

All four of them "pleaded guilty" to second-degree murder to avoid life sentences.

The three men also pleaded to home invasion charges.

They admitted they were looking for a house to rob --- when they broke into "Kebler's" home in Eagle Township last August.

Clinton Co. Prosecutor Chuck Sherman called this was the most brutal case they've had in Clinton County in years.
