This was Cory Young's eighth felony charge, and he's previously been arrested multiple times on charges of aggravated assault. In my experience, an arrest record is not actually any basis for judging a person's character (tho that much assault is more than a little sus). So it should also be noted that (surprise!) he's also a longtime member of the Aryan Brotherhood. According to Arizona Right Watch over on Bluesky (@azrww.bsky.social), he had a crowd of supporters in the courtroom today, many of whom had "visible white supremacist tattoos." Also, 3.5 years is the minimum he was up for after he covered up for the fact that his Nazi friend beat Young's own roommate to death.

This all seems like important info to me, but apparently most of it isn't to this outlet or any of several others I looked at.

A man convicted of withholding information from police in his roommate's murder investigation was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison on Tuesday.

Cory Young is the first to go to jail and the second to be sentenced for his role in the brutal death of his roommate, Jake Kelly.

Young, 45, pleaded guilty to first-degree hindering prosecution in November. His wife, Shannon Marie Higgins, 38, who also lived with Jake Kelly, pleaded guilty to first-degree hindering prosecution and was sentenced to three years on probation on Dec. 4.

The third person involved, Angel Mullooly, admitted to killing Jake Kelly in text messages obtained by police and is the only one charged with second-degree murder.
