, including three younger siblings, when he was 14 years old has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.Wise wrote that the crime was “ghastly, disturbing, and draped in unmitigated evil" and warranted the harshest punishment allowed by law.Mason Sisk has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prision after killing five family members.
A jury in April convicted Sisk of multiple counts of capital murder for the 2019 shooting deaths of his father, stepmother and younger siblings.John Wayne Sisk, 38, and Mary Sisk, 35, were found dead in their home on Sept. 2, 2019, along with their three children — 6-year-old Kane, 4-year-old Aurora and 6-month-old Colson.
The US Supreme Court said life sentences for those under the age of 18 at the time of their crimes are inappropriate except for the rarest of cases and judges should consider “children’s diminished culpability, and heightened capacity for change". Wise wrote that the slayings were the rare case where a life sentence without parole was warranted for a juvenile defendant.He wrote that the “circumstances of the Sisk case are much more appalling” than other cases where life sentences have been upheld for juvenile defendants.
