Lambing sentenced for murder of 4-year-old boy
Keith Jordan Lambing was sentenced Monday morning to 30 to 60 years in prison for the 2017 murder of 4-year-old Bentley Thomas Miller.
Lambing, 22, pleaded guilty Dec. 30 to murder in the third degree, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child, all felonies.
Judge Timothy McCune sentenced Lambing after several relatives of the victim, including the child’s father, shared their thoughts and feelings with the court.
“Our hearts began to ache beyond repair. Every day became harder. Sleeping is unbelievably hard for us,” said Nash Peters, the victim’s aunt. “I’ve cried enough to fill all the oceans and then some.”
The courtroom was packed with family members of both Miller and Lambing while sheriff’s deputies watched the proceeding.
