Griffith. Kevin Riddle (Reginald's half-brother), pleaded guilty to charges of auto theft, hindering prosecution, and attempted hindering prosecution. He received a sentence of eight years and nine months in prison. Charges against a fourth man, Robert Maye, were dropped after it was determined that he was a protected federal witness who had testified against the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples street gang. In December 2007, Griffith was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to murder, armed robbery, and kidnapping. Riddle pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in 2006 as a part of a plea bargain; on January 25, 2008, he was sentenced to life in prison but will be eligible for parole in 2033, 25 years into his life sentence.
