Man Gets 40 years for South Side Shooting

A Chicago man was sentenced to 40 years in prison for a 2010 shooting that left a man dead on his South Side porch, prosecutors said.

Cordero Amos, 25, was sentenced today by Cook County Judge James Linn at the George Leighton Criminal Courts building, according to Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez.

Amos was convicted in a March jury trial with the slaying of Lawrence Stubbs, 19, on the 8900 block of South Bishop Street, prosecutors said.

Amos co-defendant Robert Butler was convicted in a bench trial of second degree murder and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
