Sentencing
According to Devlin’s own lawyers, Attorneys Michael Kielty and Ethan Corlija, there was no use in going to trial. Apparently, there was a videotape of Devlin torturing Shawn, which would be enough to put Devlin behind bars for a very long time. Devlin would end up pleading guilty to ‘six counts in Washington County and received the maximum sentence of three life terms in prison plus 60 years for kidnapping, sexually assaulting and attempting to murder Shawn in 2002.’ While in St. Louise County, he pleaded guilty to ‘two counts of kidnapping and 69 counts of forcible sodomy, and received 18 consecutive life sentences.’ Suffice to say, Devlin will never see the outside of a jail ever again.
