A murder victim’s father had a dramatic outburst in Pima County Superior Court Wednesday when the convicted murderer was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Andre Lightsey-Copeland, 30, was convicted last month of second-degree murder in the July 2009 shooting death of David Tyne outside what was at the time the Candy Store strip club, 1104 S. Craycroft Road.
On Wednesday Judge Teresa Godoy sentenced Lightsey-Copeland to 12 years in prison, with with two years and three months of credit for time he already served in the Pima County jail.
“You’re a lucky man. Twelve! Life is cheap,” David Tyne Sr. yelled at Lightsey-Copeland before walking out of the courtroom.
