Marshall was sentenced to five years in prison, with four years of the term suspended, court documents showed. He also must serve four years of probation.

A judge had ordered a mental evaluation for Marshall. At the time, Marshall’s lawyer said he was “crushed and devastated for the families of the victims.”
