They're on charges of false imprisonment.

And is it what's the other charge they're on?

The judge actually refers to the branding as a humiliation, you know, and because it was around the face, which would be similar to Lunny, even though it wasn't a cattle iron that was used on him, a knife.

I mean, he was left with a branding essentially on his forehead.

Yeah.

So for the purposes of sentencing, we can equate them.

Yes.

So the three who were found guilty in that case, Scott, and you read it out there.

There's aggravating factors because they have gone to trial.

Yes.

And as was stated today in this sentence, in this sentencing, the fact that the victim is brought through an entire court case that everybody has to give evidence, the expense to the state, et cetera, et cetera.

It becomes an aggravating factor if there's a guilty plea at the end of it.

And to explain that,

You know, the judges have to give people an incentive to plead guilty.

And what we'll do is let's just say what everybody got, first of all, and then we'll go into what happened in the court today, right?

Which will go through the aggravating, the mitigating circumstances around this.

So Jason Hennessy, he's jailed for a total of 8.5 years today.

His brother, Devin, is sentenced to three years.

Their younger brother, Brandon, was handed down a six year sentence, which will run consecutive to a jail term he's already serving that expires in 2028.

And that means the six year sentence starts in February 2028.
