The Taylors teenager who threw a single, fatal punch at Sean Kennedy outside an Eastside bar was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison after an impassioned argument about the role Kennedy's sexual orientation may have played.
Stephen Andrew Moller pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, admitting he punched 20-year-old Kennedy in the face in the parking lot of the former Brew's Pub on Pelham Road in May 2007 after a night of drinking.
Kennedy's head hit the pavement, causing fatal brain damage.
Shortly after Moller hit Kennedy, Moller called a girl that Kennedy was with outside the bar and left a voice message mixed with laughter, profanity and anti-homosexual epithets bragging about the assault, Moyer said.
The prosecutor read a transcript of the message in court, which Kennedy's mother pleaded unsuccessfully with the judge to listen to the actual recording before sentencing Moller.
