22 years for Powell

KINGMAN – A 22-year prison term was ordered Friday for one of two Yucca residents charged in the shooting death of a Kingman man.

Powell claimed he subsequently shot Parlanti to end his suffering and “put him out of his misery.” Deputy Mohave County Attorney James Schoppmann urged Judge Doug…
