Desiderio Hernandez
(KLZA)-- Life in prison.
That's was the sentence handed down Tuesday for convicted murderer Desiderio Hernandez.
The 32-year-old learned his fate from Richardson County District Court Judge Daniel Bryan Jr. who levied the maximum sentence allowed. He was also sentenced to another eight to 17 years for weapons counts.
In December, a Richardson County Jury found Hernandez guilty of murdering his cousin, Joseph Debella Jr.
Debella was found in the basement of a Falls City home on August 5th, 2015 with a gunshot wound to the head and died eight days later at a Lincoln hospital.
Hernandez was arrested in the early morning hours of August 6, 2015, after a nearly seven-hour standoff with authorities at a home in Horton, Kansas
