He faced the judge for a sentencing for the second time on Friday, and received the same sentence.

Gray was found guilty of manslaughter and was handed down a sentence of life in prison with no parole for 10 years.

Grays’ life sentence will start from his original incarceration date back in 2008, meaning he will be eligible for parole in 2018.
