Man Gets 32 Years for Fresno Manslaughter

Damien Murphy was sentenced to 32 years in prison for the 2023 fatal shooting of William Carney, a Fresno father of five, after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter. At sentencing, Murphy said he would not apologize because he was protecting his family and that he would do it again, prompting the judge to urge him to show remorse. Carney’s children, mother and other loved ones described the lasting grief and milestones he will miss; one childhood friend told Murphy he could not hate him.
