As previously reported, Cornelius Smith was initially charged with first-degree murder, along with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, in connection to Young Dolphs 2021 killing. As part of a plea agreement reached on Friday, Smith pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, which led to the dismissal of the remaining charges against him. He was then sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole. Though his attorney, Michael Scholl, said he will receive credit for time already served, leaving him with an estimated 15 years left. Scholl also shared that Smith has shown remorse throughout the proceedings.
