The (Aberdeen) Daily World reports the untreated, delusional, paranoid schizophrenic man convicted of last year’s courthouse attack in Montesano will serve at least 24 years in prison.
Steven Daniel Kravetz was sentenced yesterday in the same courthouse where he shot a sheriff’s deputy and stabbed the judge who tried to intervene. Both survived to testify in the trial that was conducted earlier this spring in Lewis County with Judge Richard Brosey.
News reporter Brionna Friedrich writes that Kravetz, 35, spoke at length during yesterday’s sentencing hearing in Grays Harbor County Superior Court, criticizing the process, witnesses and his defense attorney David Arcuri; he filed an appeal after the sentence was issued.
