WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - August 14, 2008
Marvin Davis pleaded guilty this year to manslaughter and a
weapon charge in the June 2007 shooting that killed 18-year-old
Michael Flakes as he played basketball near the scene of a street
brawl. Davis was sentenced Wednesday to 13 years in prison. He
apologized in court, saying the shooting shouldn't have happened.
Nineteen-year-old James Cooper was sentenced to 18 months in
prison for aggressive menacing and reckless endangering.
Nineteen-year-old Severa Davis was given a three-year prison term
for conspiracy, criminal solicitation and a weapon charge.
A defense attorney says none of the men fired the fatal shot,
but were charged as accomplices.
