Hershall junior’s family members told News Center 7 they want to see Kendrick be put away for life.
Hershall Junior’s great-aunt Jessica McNier said in October, when Kendrick pleaded guilty to his murder, that they were all preparing for this day to see Kendrick receive his sentence for murdering their family member.
McNier said they are hoping for life without parole.
“I think he’s a coward; I also think he should get life without parole,” McNier said.
At 8:45 a.m. on Nov. 12, Kendrick will be back in court for sentencing.
