Suspect gets life plus 20 for Richmond County robbery, shooting

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A jury has convicted a 25-year-old man of a 2019 armed theft and capturing that injured the sufferer.

After a three-day trial that concluded Wednesday afternoon, Kadeem Blenman was sentenced to life in jail plus 20 years in confinement adopted by 5 years of probation.

District Legal professional Jared Williams stated Blenman used his girlfriend’s automobile and cellphone to arrange the theft by luring the sufferer to a trailer park off Deans Bridge Highway in July 2019.

In the course of the trial, Assistant District Legal professional Justin Mullis of the Particular Victims Unit instructed jurors Blenman has by no means needed to come clean with his actions, however they’d the prospect to make him take duty for the hurt he brought about.

“The jury responded with a responsible verdict, holding Blenman accountable for the violence he perpetrated on our neighborhood,” Williams stated in a press release.

“I thank this jury for standing up for the sufferer and for the security of our neighborhood.”
