Judge denies probation for DeRouin in Layfield death

Prosecutors argued for prison, highlighting lack of remorse, while defense cited family restraint and DeRouin’s stable background. Layfield’s son testified about his father’s impact, and the victim’s family expressed mixed feelings as DeRouin sobbed in court.
