Martin to be sentenced Friday in UNCG shooting case
GREENSBORO — A judge scheduled Brian Martin's sentencing at 9:30 a.m. Friday after testimony in the UNCG shooting case concluded this afternoon.
Martin, 20, pleaded guilty last week to more than a dozen charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery in the two drug-related incidents. His sentencing began Tuesday afternoon before Guilford County Superior Court Judge Henry Frye Jr. It concluded Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Martin testified that co-defendant Sidney Lowe II took the lead in a March 2007 home invasion and a shooting at a UNCG dorm room.
Lowe is the son of Sidney Lowe, the men’s basketball coach at N.C. State. The younger Lowe’s attorneys argued during his sentencing last week that Martin had instigated the robberies. Lowe received 15 months at the Guilford County Prison Farm, a minimum-security prison in Gibsonville, although Barnes said today he is currently serving time in the jail. The rest of his 11-year sentence was suspended.
