Savoy Man Who Killed Brother Gets 35-Year Prison Sentence

 

A 35-year prison sentence awaits a Savoy man who shot and killed his brother inside Tolono's only grocery store.

Forty-three year old Brian Maggio has already been jailed for slightly over a year - he will be required to serve 100 percent of the murder sentence for the death of his 32 year old brother Mark.

Mark Maggio was killed during an argument inside the Tolono IGA, which never reopened after the shooting.

Brian Maggio owned that store while his younger brother owned the IGA in Arcola, but the two had a history of financial disputes.

Brian Maggio pleaded guilty to the murder last month - state's attorney Julia Rietz says while Maggio's attorney had asked for a 20 year sentence, the judge decided to order the maximum allowed under the plea agreement.
