Jessica Kennedy, convicted in August of facilitation of murder in the July 17, 2010, murder of Jim  Miller, was sentenced to 22 years in jail just moments ago. She received 22 years on the facilitation of murder conviction and also received a five-year jail term for a facilitation of robbery conviction along with 11/29  on two other charges in the notorious case.

The jail terms will run concurrently, thus falling short of the maximum sentence the Miller family wanted, resulting in a 22-year jail sentence in effect.

Kennedy could have spent 31 years in jail on the facilitation of murder and robbery charges alone had the judge gone for the maximum jail terms and ran them one after the other.

Her lawyers have already said they will ask for a new trial for Kennedy, who will be 29 years old in December.

The Miller family said after the sentencing hearing there will be no closure until other people who they think played a role in Miller's murder are brought to justice.
