Escambia Man Gets 25 Years For Parking Lot Shooting
March 20, 2014
An Escambia County man has been sentenced to 25 years in state prison for a store parking lot shooting.
James Nathaniel Marshall was sentenced Wednesday by Circuit Judge Linda Noble to 25 years state prison to serve day for day under the 10-20-Life law. Marshall was convicted on January 10, 2014, for aggravated battery with a firearm, shooting into an occupied vehicle and discharging a firearm in public by an Escambia county jury.
The conviction stemmed from a shooting at the Beacon Foodmart on Barrancas Avenue in December 2012. Prosecutors said Marshall got into a verbal argument with two people. Once the argument ended, the other two individuals got into their vehicle to leave. As they began to drive out of the parking lot, Marshall fired shots at their vehicle. One of the individuals exited the vehicle and was struck in the shoulder with one shot. That person was treated at Baptist Hospital and survived.

Devastated Dave, No, he will not be out sooner, he was sentenced under a MANDATORY MINIMUM LAW, without gain time or good time as some know it to be called. He will do day for day and not one day less.
I don’t believe he will serve 25 years. He’ll be out sooner than that. But either way he’ll come out as a more dangerous criminal looking to prove what a gangsta he is.
well either way it’s getting him of the streets,and 25 years in prison is a looong time!
1) producing a firearm during the commission of certain felonies mandates at least a 10-year prison sentence; 2) firing one mandates at least a 20-year prison sentence; and 3) shooting someone mandates a MINIMUM SENTENCE OF 25 YEARS to life regardless of whether a victim is killed or simply injured. The maximum penalty is a life sentence.
Judge Nobles is always very lenient and is the illustration for the need of MANDATORY sentencing guidelines.
I thought it was
Have a gun 10 years
Discharge a gun 20 years
Shoot someone Life.
