Turner man sentenced to life in prison for 2019 Sweet Home killing

K. RAMBO A Turner man found guilty in a 2019 Sweet Home murder was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday. Page Lee Butterfield, 27, was sentenced to life with no possibility of parole for 25 years for second-degree murder in the death of Corey Burdick, 43, by Linn County Circuit Court Judge Thomas McHill. Butterfield was also sentenced to 10 years for second-degree assault in the shooting of Ervin Smith, 67, and 18 months for a felon in possession of a firearm charge. Those terms will be served concurrently with the life sentence. Butterfield’s court-appointed attorney, John Rich, said the sentence was no surprise because the crimes carried Measure 11 mandatory minimum sentences. However, Rich described the verdict as a “miscarriage of justice” and has already started the appeal process.
