Wayne Ellington says it’s ‘bittersweet’ after father's murderer gets 30-60 years in prison
Posted Feb 19, 2016
Nets guard Wayne Ellington Jr., a supporter of gun-control efforts, said it was "bittersweet" when the man accused of shooting and killing his father was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison. "You always want justice to be served," Wellington Jr. said at practice in Brooklyn on Wednesday, "but at the same time none of that could ever bring my father back."
