Judge refuses Welch bid for reduced prison time

On Monday, Cole County Judge Dan Green denied a motion to reduce the term of the sentence of a man who pled guilty to charges in connection with a fatal accident in November 2007.

Larry Welch currently is serving a total of 20 years in prison - 15 years each on the two involuntary manslaughter counts, being served at the same time, and five years each on two counts of second-degree assault, also to be served together, but after Welch completes the manslaughter sentences.
