Louis Gillett Sentenced to Life in Prison for Murder

Businessman Alvin Godfrey was shot inside his place of business in April 2003, during an attempted robbery.  He died several months later.  The man who pulled the trigger has remained incarcerated for more than twenty years and on Wednesday, convicted murderer Louis Gillett was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole until he has served twenty-nine years in prison.  Justice Nigel Pilgrim considered the sentence and, despite the fact that Gillett has served more than half of the sentence and is eligible for parole, he has shown little reform, having only enrolled in one rehab program since being locked up.
