A Viewer Writes: Trey Harcum sentenced to 10 yrs.

Trey Harcum was sentenced to 10 yrs today for the murder of his uncle Lee Harcum in Mardela Springs last year. 

Trey was not found guilty of murder by a Wicomico jury but was found guilty of a voluntary manslaughter. Wicomico circuit court judge James Sarbanes sentenced Trey to four yrs above the maximum guidelines in front of an emotional split court room. 

Trey Harcum should be eligible for parole in 5 years. He plans to return to Wicomico county when released.

Lee's family up there making him look innocent. Trey should've walked. Lee threatened the wrong man finally with his gun. Only a matter of time. Then Lee's wife crying she can't afford her home and upkeep as his brother saying he is scared Trey will come and finish them all when released. You could smell the bull in the air. Wonder how Sarbanes was paid off for that jacked sentence to be given.

Here we go!! He killed someone. Unless he was in imminent danger of dying then he deserves the time. I admit I do not know all the details, but I do trust Sarbanes' judgement. Suck it up people and move on!

Trey is the most gentle person I've ever known. This is so unfair to be beaten after being knocked out and it was proven he suffered a concussion and could not think right. Trey can't even turn his head in either direction this judgement is not right by any means.

Hope he appeals!! I personally know this man to be a very fine young man it's sad situation. In most other state this would have been self defence.

This is just wrong in so many ways. Trey is a good guy & he was defending himself. What the heck was Sarbanes thinking giving him 10 years?

Public defenders work for the court system, not the client.

Trey should be serving life in prison.

If he was black and sold drugs he would be doing life

But he isnt black and wasnt selling drugs. what does his race have to do with it? I can pull up a hundred articles of blacks killing, robbing, selling guns and drugs, and they get minimal sentences.
Go back to plotting how to start a race war.

To all of you crying this sentence is too harsh WTF?? This man took another man's life PERIOD!!! All this BS about self defense us a joke, he was a louse cannon and came unglued. How do you go from tackling a man and chocking him out until his eyes roll back in his head to leaving and coming back with a piece of steel and bashing his head in. He should definitely be serving life. He better keep that rage where he's headed he'll need it. "I'm afraid of what might happen to me in prison" won't cut in there son put your big boy panties on

lets remember 2:10 Trey was knocked out and beaten in the head and face before he was able to stop his Uncle and after his Uncle who stared the fight in the first place poor man he threatened to kill Trey. Trey now has a concussion and can't think properly, his purpose was to knock his Uncle out before he got to his gun.Oh and by the way he did not tackle his Uncle. the chock hold was how Trey was able to get his Uncle off of him.
