Lottery Store Murder Suspect Enters Plea, Faces Up To 30 Years
September 25, 2013
One of the two men involved in the robbery and shooting death of a Davisville lottery store owner last November has entered a plea.
Brent Dewayne Lambeth, 21, has pleaded no contest to second degree murder. Under his plea deal, he will receive no more than 30 years in prison, provided he testifies against his co-defendant and alleged triggerman, 25-year old Malcolm McGhee Jr.
McGhee’s trial in set to begin in November on charges of premeditated first degree murder and robbery with a firearm for the shooting death of 74-year old Thomas “Tommy” Kroll during a robbery on November 6, 2012, at the State Line O’ Yes Lotto on Highway 97.
Investigators said McGhee and Lambeth targeted Kroll’s business because they had previous purchased “Spice” there and the duo intended on robbing the store of more of the synthetic marijuana.

No plea deals, time to pay the price…death. This has gone on long enough. 30 years what a joke …
These Thugs planned and executed their plan against this store and its owner. Both should be put into the Electric Chair. But bleeding heart liberals say, oh thats not humane, What if that were Your Dad Or Grandfather that was robbed and killed. This is why Thugs keep on doing crime…There arent harsh enough penalites for these types of crime. So kill someone get 30 years and do 6 then back out on the street to kill again…..Oh Lord..Help Us.
Death penalty. DONT TAKE THE PLEA
I am surprised that it took this long to work out the details.
These two gave the business owner the death penalty and should receive nothing less.
