Akua Powell, who was sentenced Wednesday, was the only one of six defendants to turn down a plea bargain. Former state trooper /*HyunJin Kim*/ was sentenced Tuesday to six years for his role.
Powell was convicted of 11 counts each of first-degree robbery and possession of a firearm during a felony, two counts of offensive touching, wearing a disguise during a felony and second-degree conspiracy. Each robbery and weapons count carries a mandatory three-year sentence.
Police said Powell was one of three armed, masked men who burst into the clubhouse at Wild Quail Country Club near Dover where a dozen people were playing poker and robbed them.
