STAFFORD — A Stafford man was sentenced to 18 years in prison for shooting his girlfriend inside their then-home in 2009, a report on APP.com said.
John Carnesi, 61, said in court Friday he never wished harm on the victim, 50-year-old Frances Marsh, according to the report. Carnesi was found guilty in April of the Jan. 24, 2009 shooting, the report said.
In the April trial, Carnesi said he drank so much on the day of the shooting that he could not remember what happened, saying Marsh might have hit him with the gun before a struggle. APP.com reports that Carnesi on Friday also blamed Marsh's alleged mental health problems for what happened.
