## Resource

A 61-year-old man, Adrian Frost, has been sentenced to life with a minimum of 27 years for murdering 26-year-old Connor Batty during a botched cannabis farm break-in. Using a sawed-off shotgun, Frost shot Batty in the chest — then took photos and joked about the scene before calling police. Though he claimed self-defense, the judge rejected it, noting Frost had safer options and showed no remorse. Frost also faces concurrent sentences for firearms and drug offenses, and his arsenal included machetes and a samurai sword. Batty’s grieving family described him as a flawed but loving father striving for a better life. His two accomplices have already been jailed for 4 years and 6 months, and 4 years and 4 months respectively. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
