Blake William Linkous and Natalie Jane Martin
Blake William Linkous, 18, was just given a sentence of
45 years for the strangulation murder of his ex-girlfriend, Natalie Jane
Martin, 18, during a high school senior trip to Myrtle Beach in June,
2023. Both had attended Philo High School in Duncan Falls, Ohio and had
broken up earlier that year after a fairly long dating relationship.
Both had just graduated.
Linkous'
mouthpiece tried to get him off or get a reduced sentence by asserting
that the fact he was drunk and autistic should be mitigating factors.
The judge didn't buy it. The minimum sentence was 30 years. The judge
didn't think that adequate.
