XXXTentacion were formally sentenced Thursday to serve life in prison.Showing little emotion during the proceeding, Michael Boatwright, 28, Dedrick Williams, 26, and Trayvon Newsome, 24, were handed their fates from Circuit Judge Michael Usan, who addressed each man individually after also presiding over their trial.The sentencing by Usan was largely a formality since Florida law dictates a life sentence for first-degree murder convictions.In somewhat of a departure, however, prosecutor Pascale Achille asked the judge to impose an additional 30-year sentence on Boatwright, found to have been the triggerman, for violating several provisions of his probation when the rapper was slain. The prosecutor asked that the sentence be served consecutively to his life sentence because of Boatwright's behavior during the trial.«Several times during the trial, Mr. Boatwright did not appear to take these matters seriously,» she told the judge, citing instances of his «abhorrent behavior» when he laughed during the proceeding.
