Today Judge Don Davis sentenced Brianna Brinkely to Life Imprisionment for her role in the Carjacking/Murder of Anitra Pirkle on January 22, 2009. Brinkely was the second defendant to be sentenced for this Murder.
Kenneth Alvira had received Life Without the Possibility of Parole and a thirty year concurrent sentence for Armed Carjacking. The State sought a sentence of Life Without Parole, but the Court, citing the fact that there was not evidence that Brinkley actually inflicted the stab wounds herself, imposed the Life Sentence. By filing the LWOP Notice, it automatically means that Brinkley will not be eligible for parole until she serves at least 25 years of her sentence before eligibility kicks in.
In addition, on any Life Sentence in Maryland the Governor's consent is required before anyone is released on parole. The State believes that the sentence imposed is a fair one. By State's Attorney Davis Ruark, "The family of Anitra Pirkle is relieved that the second person has been sentenced for her role in the carjacking and murder of Anitra. Nothing can ever make up for the loss of Anitra, a young lady who did everything right. This senseless, random act of murder is repulsive to us all.
The exceptional police work of the Wicomico Bureau of Investigation and the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit ensured that the three were captured and successfully prosecuted. I am grateful to all of the investigators involved." The third defendant, Brittany Barkley, is scheuled for sentencing on December 1st. The State is seeking Life Without the Possibility of Parole and consecutive sentences in that case.
