• Court upholds 76-year sentence for Port Arthur man in 2022 Groves shooting (12newsnow.com) — An appeals court has upheld a 76-year prison sentence for a Port Arthur man convicted in a 2022 shooting outside the McDonald’s in Groves, ruling that jurors had enough evidence to reject his self-defense and “sudden passion” claims. Judges cited surveillance video and his actions before and during the gunfire in affirming the conviction, meaning he will continue serving his lengthy sentence.
