US Attorney Pirro(@USAttyPirro):Unfortunately, the sentence imposed today does not reflect the severe harm suffered by the four young children who will now grow up without their father. His actions caused extraordinary damage, and my office sought a substantially longer sentence because the brutality of this crime demanded it. The impact on Mr. Redd’s family—especially his children—will last a lifetime, underscoring that violent conduct of this magnitude deserves the strongest response our justice system can deliver. Whitley’s murder of Kevin Redd, a father of four, left a hole in our community that can never be repaired.
