YOUNGSTOWN Courtney L. Hall of Akron, 29, was sentenced to three years in prison today for helping her boyfriend after he killed Sierra Morris and her father, Leroy Morris, Feb. 28 in the Morris’ West Judson Avenue home.
Hall was girlfriend of John C. Bruner III, 31, formerly of Warren, who pleaded guilty Aug. 26 to murder, aggravated murder and other offenses and was sentenced to 41 years to life in prison.
Hall pleaded guilty earlier to three counts of tampering with evidence for hiding Bruner’s clothes, gun and car after the murders.
Hall told Judge John Durkin of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court she did not know Bruner was going to kill anyone when she drove him there, and loved the little girl Bruner and Sierra Morris had together too much to allow something like to happen.
