The suspect charged with the 2019 fatal shooting of Terrill Moore on McHenry Street pled guilty Wednesday morning to his role in a recent jail assault.
Robert Torian pled guilty to assault under extreme emotional disturbance as part of a deal that Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling says comes with a one-year sentence.
Attorney James Chamberlain waived formal sentencing for Torian, noting he’s incarcerated while awaiting trial for the murder charge.
Torian, Isaiah Campbell and Alianard Washington were all originally indicted for second-degree assault. Personnel at the Christian County Jail on August 2 charged them, alleging they kicked, punched and stomped another inmate while he was curled up in the floor. Arrest citations say the victim sustained a concussion and busted ear drum.
