ELYRIA — Convicted killer Justin Chapman was given 33 years to life in prison for killing his friend Darren English during a botched robbery in 2005.

It was the third time Chapman, 20, was sentenced in the case. The 9th District Court of Appeals has previously overturned his conviction on murder and other charges once and later overturned the sentence in the case.

Lorain County Common Pleas Judge Mark Betleski originally gave Chapman 35 years to life. He imposed a 30 years to life sentence after the second trial.

Chapman’s lawyer, Kenneth Lieux, asked for a new judge to handle the third sentencing and Judge Christopher Rothgery was assigned.

Chapman, who was tried as an adult, was 14 when English died from a single gunshot wound during a robbery of small-time drug dealer William Fiske III. Fiske was shot six time but survived.
