CLEVELAND (AP) — Prosecutors in Cleveland say a man who
fatally shot a friend who tried to keep him from driving drunk has been
sentenced to spend at least 26 years in prison.
The Cuyahoga
County prosecutor’s office said 41-year-old Scott
Campbell was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole
eligibility for at least 26 years.
Campbell pleaded guilty in January to murder and a variety of other charges.
Prosecutors
said he killed 43-year-old Java Bowling last Aug. 9 after Bowling tried
to take the keys away from a highly intoxicated Campbell. Campbell
fatally shot Bowling outside Bowling’s home then fled.
Assistant County Prosecutor Brian Radigan said Bowling "lost his life trying to protect the life of
a friend."
