A shocking crime has come to a close as the man responsible for the murder of Charlise Mutten has been sentenced to life in prison. Justin Stein, despite his claims that it was Charlise’s mother who committed the crime, was found guilty of the murder. The 33-year-old received the maximum sentence of life in prison without parole in the NSW Supreme Court.
Charlise’s body was found with gunshot wounds, and the judge described it as a shocking and callous crime. Stein was accused of pretending to cry during the trial, showing a complete lack of remorse.
The prosecutor argued for a life sentence due to the extreme nature of the crime, while Stein’s lawyer claimed it would be cruel and unusual punishment. Toxicology results revealed disturbing details about the case.
