In February, McKinney pleaded guilty to murder, attempted murder, conspiracy and related charges. As a juvenile offender, McKinney is eligible for parole after 40 years under Colorado law. During the emotional sentencing hearing, Castillo’s father, John Castillo, called McKinney a coward and said he shed only"crocodile tears."McKinney, who is transgender, admitted plotting the school shooting as revenge on classmates over bullying, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
