Bellamy Sentenced to 59 Months in Prison

 

A Coffeyville man has been sentenced to almost five years in state prison for a shooting death in June 2020.

 

According to the Montgomery County Chronicle, Judge William Cullins sentenced Ethan Bellamy to 59 months in state prison for pleading no contest to a charge of voluntary manslaughter. Bellamy, who was charged with premeditated first-degree murder in the death of Otis Horner, accepted a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. Charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit murder were dismissed by the Montgomery County Attorney. Bellamy will also be required to spend 36 months in post-release supervision and register as a violent offender for 15 years.

 

Prior to sentencing, Bellamy heard comments from two members of Horner's family. His sister, Tenesha Horner, and mom, Lula Henson. Bellamy was ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution to Tenesha Horner for the costs associated with her brother’s funeral and burial.
