Cory Young was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for hindering prosecution in the murder of Jake Kelly. Young, a roommate of Kelly's, was arrested alongside his wife and another man after Kelly was found beaten in 2023. Kelly's mother expressed her disappointment with the sentence, stating that it does not provide justice for the horrific crime.
The second suspect connected to the brutal murder of a Phoenix man was sentenced to three and a half years in prison on Tuesday. Last November, Cory Young pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution in the murder of 49-year-old Jake Kelly, who was found badly beaten in the driveway of his home in 2023. Kelly later died at the hospital from his injuries."Trauma to his brain. He had three separate injuries to his brain. His face was crushed," Kelly's mother previously told FOX 10.
He officially started his three-and-a-half-year prison sentence for what prosecutors say was his role in the beating death of Kelly.Young's prison term began on Jan. 7, and he received a 184-day credit of pre-sentence incarceration. He will be supervised after his release.His failure to comply could result in him going back to prison, and he also must submit to DNA testing."Is this justice? No. This is not justice. This is horrific," Jan Kelly, the victim's mother, said.
