[00:00:00]Well, the second of two suspects involved in the shooting death of a Gresham teenager was sentenced to 15 years in prison today. Tai Sage pleaded guilty to manslaughter and robbery as part of a plea deal with prosecutors.

[00:00:12]Kyle Bosshi was in the courtroom for today's plea and sentencing. Kyle Tim, you may remember this case. It's been in the headlines before after the suspect was mistakenly released from jail only to be rearrested. In a crowded courtroom, a Multma County judge sentenced Tai Sage to 15 years in prison. The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and robbery. Prosecutors say Sage and another man were responsible for the shooting death of 15-year-old Logan Ivy.

[00:00:44]>> All of my hopes and dreams for him have been shattered.

[00:00:47]>> The victim's mother, Jodie Ramsay, spoke with the media following Monday's plea and sentencing hearing. My feelings is it's some sort of justice for my son. Um I don't think that I will ever personally have closure for the situation, but other people can start healing and feel some sort of justice that has been served.

[00:01:06]>> The shooting happened at a Gushroom apartment complex in December 2021.

[00:01:11]Prosecutors say Sage went to the apartment to buy guns and cocaine from Ivy, but actually planned to rob him.

After his arrest, a judge ordered Sage to be held without bail, but the Multma County Sheriff's Office mistakenly released him. Sage was arrested 2 days later on the Oregon coast. An investigation found deputies misinterpreted the court order to mean that Sage was eligible to be released if he posted bail. the accidental release when he got accidentally bailed out. I don't think that the process works that great. I think they need to step up their game and do more do more training on their paperwork situation.

[00:01:58]>> During sentencing, Sage declined to comment, but his defense lawyers told the judge he didn't mean to hurt anyone.

[00:02:08]>> The other defendant in this case, Rivas RmIrez, was sentenced in December. He got 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to robbery and manslaughter.
