Heskett given lengthy term in murder case with diversion history
Prosecutors argued Heskett killed Moulton for cash, citing $13,000 in refunds and car purchases after cashing checks. Defense noted a 2015 trial where Heskett claimed an assisted death. Judge Kittel sentenced Heskett to 195 months with time served and 15 percent good time, potentially freeing about 30 months early.
