Despite taking almost a year to bring the case to a close, the judge responsible for sentencing Mehmet Hassan’s killers, Judge William Kennedy, showed little compassion as he read his verdict.
Appalled by the evidence he’d heard and the footage captured after the gang hand kicked the poker player to death, Kennedy decided to hand down the toughest sentences possible to Leonie Granger, Kyrron Jackson and Nicholas Chandler.

Anthony Zinno capped an incredible campaign during Season XIII of the World Poker Tour by being named the WPT Player of the Year.
The announcement was made official after the elimination of Darren Elias from the WPT World Championship at the Borgata, as Elias was the only other player with a chance to surpass Zinno for the title.
Zinno won the award after a year that saw him become just the third player ever to win three WPT titles in his career.
