A St. Clair County case is back in court as prosecutors fight to keep two men locked up for life from a ’10 murder. James Preston and Jonathan Kurtz are asking for new sentences after a court ruling affecting young offenders, since both were 18 at the time. But prosecutors argue the killing of Paul Skinner was carefully planned and should still carry life without parole. Investigators say the pair plotted the attack, killing Skinner and seriously injuring his wife, who says anything less than life in prison would be an injustice.
