A Troy man has found out his punishment for being involved in a shooting that left a child paralyzed.
On Thursday, a judge sentenced 18-year-old Christopher George to spend the next 15 years behind bars. Prosecutors say that M.J. Rivera was sweeping the floor of a home on O'Neil Street back in March 2021 before being struck by gunfire. Doctors aren't able to remove the bullet because it's lodged in Rivera's spine. Reports say that 24-year-old Julian Soto, who was with George at the time of the shooting, is awaiting trial.
