Webber Sentenced To 10 Years

A Thunder Bay man will be doing hard time for a 2011 home invasion and death.   20 year old Nicholas Webber has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his part in the 2011 stabbing death of 54 year old Robert Topping at his Minnesota Street home.  The defense tried to portray Webber, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter, as a follower not a leader.  Justice Douglas Shaw didn't buy it,  calling it an especially violent home invasion calling it reprehensible and that Webber did nothing to help the victim.  With time already served,  Webber will spend about 8 years behind bars.
