Harris also plead guilty to one count of assault with a deadly weapon serious injury, and one count of possession of firearm by felon.
The Honorable Stephen R. Futrell, North Carolina Superior Court Judge, imposed, as part of the plea agreement, a 166-month minimum, 212-month maximum, active sentence in the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections for the second-degree murder, both voluntary manslaughters and the possession of a firearm by a felon.
Harris was also sentenced to a 29-month minimum, 47-month maximum, suspended sentence, and given 36 months probation, to run at the expiration of the previous sentence, for the assault with a deadly weapon serious injury charge.
