According to an article in Yahoo News, Martin Hurtado accepted a deal from Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams’ office and pleaded guilty. He will serve 40 years in prison but they did not give more details about the conviction.
Williams said, “We demanded accountability for Mr. Sorenson and his family, and our prosecutors, with the help of [New Orleans District,] worked tirelessly to secure a conviction. This resolution not only resulted in a substantial 40-year prison sentence, it removed the risk of an extremely emotional and stressful trial process for the family of Mr. Sorenson.”
