25-Year-Old Man Sentenced To Life Without Parole In Murder Of 5-Year-Old Boy
Cannon Hinnant was riding his bike outside his dad’s home on Archers Road in Wilson when he was shot in the head. Hinnant’s mother said his two sisters, ages 8 and 7, saw their brother get shot.
Family members said there was no “bad blood” with the neighbor and it was unclear why Sessoms shot the boy.
The plea agreement calls for Sessoms to be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Darrius Sessoms made an Alford plea to first-degree murder in a Wilson County courtroom.
An Alford plea is where a defendant agrees there is enough evidence to convict him at trial but doesn’t actually admit guilt.
