Eaton man gets 20 years to life for killing his brother in 2009
Sherwood Gray’s jealousy of older brother ‘came to a head that day over nothing’ BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
OSSIPEE — Admitted murderer Sherwood Gray has been sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for killing his brother. The sentencing hearing took place Thursday at Carroll County Superior Court.
