Arthur Tyler Felton, who served more than 14 years in prison for killing a 6-year-old girl in Baltimore in 1991, was sentenced Monday to serve 12 years in prison for a carjacking outside the Annapolis Mall.
Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Paul A. Hackner suspended the rest of a 30-year sentence in favor of five years' probation, said a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office.
Because Felton, 38, is a repeat violent offender, he would have to serve 10 years without the possibility of parole.
Hackner had been considering giving Felton that sentence since a plea hearing in March.
In a plea deal that he later tried to back out of, Felton, of Annapolis, entered an Alford plea in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court — maintaining his innocence but acknowledging that there was sufficient evidence to convict him.

How in the world does someone who has a prior conviction for murdering a child manage to plea to carjacking and walk away with a less-than-maximum sentence? Probation? Seriously? Absolutely ridiculous.

He got a 30 year sentence. 12 years and the rest suspended. Has to do 10 years before eligible for parole. If he screws up in that 5 year probation period, he gets the rest of the 30 years.
Whine about somethng important.
