De wereld is een fucked up plek om op te wonen door randmongolen als Austin Halford. Want deze lowlife sloeg vorig jaar maart de 30 jarige gehandicapte Aaron Tuneberg dood met een honkbalknuppel en een golfclub. De reden hier voor was dat Austin zijn Xbox wilde stelen en deze verkopen om zo het saaie stadje Boulder te ontvluchten. Hij heeft nu schuld bekend en kan nu dadelijk andere games gaan spelen met zijn mede gevangen onder de douche, zoals verstop te salami en Bubba BITCH!!.

A 19-year-old has been sentenced to 56 years in jail for beating to death a disabled man for his Xbox.

Austin Holford, of Boulder in Colorado, beat Aaron Tuneberg, 30, with a baseball bat and a golf club at his Boulder apartment on March 31 last year and then stole his Xbox.

Mr Tuneberg died from severe head injuries a week after the brutal attack.

Holford told police he wanted to sell the games console so he could leave Boulder, according to arrest records obtained by the Daily Camera.

He had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree assault on an at-risk victim and two counts of aggravated burglary and could have been imprisoned for a maximum 70 years.

Boulder District Judge Patrick Butler said the 56 year sentence was a balancing act between punishing him and giving him a chance at rehabilitation.

He said: 'Only Mr Holford will determine what will happen to him while he is in incarceration.'

Holford spoke briefly at the hearing, addressing the Tuneberg family while at the defense table, the Daily Camera reported.

He said: 'I pray for them every morning and every night and Aaron's face is the last thing I see every night before I go to sleep.

'I will never forget his face, or the looks from his family that I deserve.'

Mr Tuneberg's mother, Gale Boonstra, said the sentencing finally gave the family some closure.

She added how she wanted to concentrate her efforts on the Aaron Tuneberg Memorial Fund, which she set up in memory of her youngest son.

She said: 'I'm relieved this part of the process is done. I'm happy to have this behind me so I can continue to honor Aaron's legacy.'

Chief Deputy District Attorney Sean Finn told Boulder County Court how Holford was an 'incredibly dangerous person' with a criminal history who had shown little remorse for the murder.

But defense attorney Eric Zale asked for a 'little bit of light at the end of the tunnel' so he could have some life after prison.

Zale said he visited Holford's childhood home in Arizona, where Zale said he was abused and beaten and stuck in the juvenile criminal system.

'Austin Holford was born to a life that few of us can imagine and all of us wish didn't exist,' Zale said. 'From the moment he was born, he was not given a chance. He was failed by his parents, he was failed by the Arizona system, he was failed by society.'

The court also heard from both of the families in what was an emotional hearing.

Tuneberg's sister Sarah spoke of trying to talk to her two young children about their uncle's death.

'They want to know, "Why?'' she said. 'They want to know if he was scared, they want to know if he was in pain; and I will never have answers to that question.'

Holford's mother, Crystal, apologized to the victim's family.

'I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Tuneberg family for the loss of their son.'

After hearing the statements, Judge Butler spoke of the difficulties faced by both families, saying: 'Nobody wins at a sentencing.'

Hours before Holford's sentencing, a second suspect in the case, Luke Pelham, 19, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree assault on an at-risk individual and aggravated robbery.

As part of the plea deal, Pelham will be sentenced to 30 to 50 years in prison at a hearing on August 12.
