Two men who beat and robbed a man in South Charleston are both going to prison despite their efforts to get a judge to treat them as a youthful offenders and freedom in as little as six months.
Both Alexander Lanham and Kalom White apologized for the July attack that left Joshua Unrue with a head wound that took nearly 30 stitches to close.
Lanham hit with him with a piece of concrete block. Lanham was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
White convinced the judge he was sincerely remorseful. White was sentenced to ten years. That's the same sentence the girl who lured Unrue to the robbery scene got earlier.
Both men denied Assistant Prosecutor Fred Giggenbach's claim that they were part of a street gang know as the North Charleston Boys.
