\n

A Pennsylvania man<\/a> who murdered his mother and took photographs with her body was sentenced to 20 years in prison after receiving a plea deal much of the family opposed.<\/p>\n

David Sumney, 33, was accused of torturing his mother Margaret, 67, and murdering her in her home in 2019.<\/p>\n

He had documented the crime by taking 277 photos, including several selfies of blood smeared on his face and his mother’s body.<\/p>\n

Sumney secured a plea deal in August that dismissed charges of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse, leaving him with only a single count of third-degree murder.<\/p>\n

Since he has been behind bars since 2019, he could be released in as little as 17 years.<\/p>\n

“I cannot believe I would let myself get in such a state where I could do something so bad, so horrible. I cannot believe what I did, that I killed my own mother,” Sumney, said during his hearing on Thursday in Allegheny County Court. “I cannot stop thinking about it. I think about it every day. I\u2019m sorry, but sorry doesn\u2019t cut it. I handled things as badly as a person could have.”<\/p>\n

“To my family, to my sisters, and my aunts, I know it\u2019s impossible to forgive me. I don\u2019t forgive myself. I just want to let them know I am truly sorry,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Sumney’s defense asked for a sentence of seven years because he “expressed remorse” and attributed his crime to his drug and alcohol use.<\/p>\n

Margaret’s family, meanwhile, pushed for a harsher sentence than he ultimately received.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her older sister, Mary Ellen, called Sumney “less than a piece of trash” and said she wished he “receive the death penalty.” Margaret’s other sister, Ann Shade, urged the court “to not give him a second chance.”<\/p>\n

Sumney would have faced life behind bars if he was sentenced for his initial charges.<\/p>\n

His cousin, Margo, explained she will never forget the “metallic smell” when she entered the blood-soaked home in 2019.<\/p>\n

“He is the epitome of pure evil,” she said. “We will never find peace with any of this.”<\/p>\n

The defense called two Allegheny jail employees to the stand, one of whom described Sumney as a model prisoner who engage in Bible studies with other inmates. Also called to the stand was a doctor who argued that Sumney had diminished mental capacity at the time of the murder because of “extremely high doses” of Adderall.<\/p>\n

After the murder, Sumney had reportedly searched online for how to dispose of his mother’s body. Among his searches were, “how long does it take before a body starts to decompose?” and “how long do you wait to dispose of a body?”<\/p>\n

The judge sentenced Sumney<\/a> to a minimum of 20 years in prison and a maximum of 40 years.<\/p>\n

“You broke her back,” Ellen told the court. “You paralyzed our mother. And then you just beat her and beat her. The blood was splattered along the walls. But I think the sickest part is the pictures. The 277 pictures. You only take pictures if you want to go back and see what you did.”<\/p>\n

Sumney also faces another criminal case<\/a> in Atlantic City, where his ex-girlfriend accuses him of waterboarding and strangling her in a hotel room in July 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
