Man jailed for 2 homicides sentenced in 2 other killings

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) A man serving 140 years for two killings has been sentenced to 55 years in prison in two other homicides.

The New Haven Register reports Zackery Cody Franklin pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 25 years in the shooting death of Jeremiah Johnson in December 2007.

The 24-year-old Franklin also pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced Monday to 30 years in the killing of Ryan Barnaby of Waterbury in May 2011.

He's serving 65 years for the murder of John-Claude James in 2011 for a gold necklace and 75 years for killing a man for a motorcycle.

Defense lawyer Michael Moscowitz said Franklin's parents were drug addicts who often were incarcerated. He said Franklin was raised in the drug culture.
