After hearing emotional testimony this morning from Charla Mack's mother, brother, father, and from Judge Chuck Weller and his secretary, Judge Douglas Herndon gave Darren Mack the maximum sentence.

Saying Mack never showed remorse or said he was sorry, Herndon said Mack would spend 20 years to life for the murder, and sentenced him 20 years for the attempted murder, and another 20 years for the deadly weapons enhancement.

He said the two terms would run consecutively.
