Missoula man gets 100 years in killing of homeless veteran
March 13, 2009
MISSOULA (AP) — A Missoula man was sentenced Tuesday to 100 years in prison for the beating death of a homeless Navy veteran.
Anthony St. Dennis was sentenced in the death of 56-year-old Forrest Salcido, whose body was found the morning of Dec. 6, 2007, near a footbridge in Missoula.
District Judge John Larson sentenced St. Dennis and made him ineligible for parole for 40 years, which means 19-year-old St. Dennis will be 59 before he can be paroled.
"Your actions are inexcusable," Larson told St. Dennis, who offered a rambling apology to the Salcido family at his sentencing hearing Tuesday.
St. Dennis was tried and convicted in Havre after defense lawyers argued successfully that media coverage of the homicide was inflammatory, making it impossible to choose an impartial jury in Missoula.
