  8. Chesapeake man to serve 7 years in fatal shooting

    by csealy

    CHESAPEAKE

    After weighing both versions of what happened a Circuit Court Judge on Friday July 15, 2011 sentenced defendant Collins to seven years in prison.

    The Circuit Court Judge initially sentenced Collins to 10 years, but then after a somewhat heated argument from Collins’ defense attorney, Andrew Protogyrou, and hearing Collins’ testimony about the shooting, the judge suspended three years.

    The Judge had described the victim’s death as an “execution-style shooting” when he almost gave the defendant 10 years in prison.

    “It’s two people with a gun facing each other – it’s almost like a duel,” Protogyrou said heatedly. “You’re assuming it’s an execution.”
