(CHICAGO) –– The man who pleaded guilty to killing 16-year-old Blair Holt on a CTA bus 10 years ago, was resentenced Tuesday.
During the first part of his sentencing hearing last month Michael Pace apologized to Holt’s parents for the 2007 murder, but ahead of the resentencing, Holt’s mother, Anette Nance-Holt told reporters that an apology won’t bring her son back.
“I’m sorry doesn’t bring Blair out of a grave. It doesn’t make me feel any better at all because every day of my life I live without my son,” Holt said.
Pace, who was 16-years-old at the time of the shooting, was originally sentenced to 100 years in prison but an appeals court threw out the sentence because of comments made by the initial judge in the case. The judge Tuesday sentenced Pace to a 75 year prison sentence.
