TOLEDO, Ohio — A Lucas County judge on Wednesday sentenced a Toledo man to 15 years to life in prison Wednesday after he entered an Alford plea to a 2022 murder.
Justin Allison was convicted of the shooting death of 38-year-old Charles Marshall, who was found shot in east Toledo on Sept. 10, 2022, and later died in the hospital.
Marshall's cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the groin that pierced the femoral artery, according to the Lucas County Coroner's Office.
A murder warrant was issued for Allison, who was arrested in October 2022.
Allison entered an Alford plea on May 1, 2023. A defendant entering an Alford plea does not admit to committing a crime but admits the state has sufficient evidence to get a conviction that could lead to a more severe sentence.
