KENOSHA, Wisconsin – Mark Jensen has been sentenced by to life in prison with no chance of parole. Judge Bruce Schroeder said he has sentenced scores of people for murder and has to sentence Mark Jensen to the maximum. Defense attorney Craig Albee asked the judge on behalf of Jensen’s children to set the minimum parole by statute. “They know what kind of person their father is.” Albee told the court these children should be able to see their father again. Jensen only became emotional at one point in today’s hearing, when the letter written by his two sons was read on his behalf to the court. David and Douglas Jensen begged for mercy for their father and merely called antifreeze poisoning victim, Julie Jensen, their “birth mother.” I was in court and watched David, who just hung his head. As Julie’s four brothers read their victim impact statements David continued to look down, but he clenched his jaw continually while words of condemnation regarding his father and the crime his was convicted of were spoken by his four maternal uncles. Kelly Jensen, Mark Jensen’s current wife, left the courtroom with David without looking at or speaking to anyone. – Jean Casarez, In Session correspondent Filed under: Jean Casarez Sentencing |
