COOKE COUNTY, TX - A confessed killer in Cooke County pleads guilty, waiving his right to a trial.

Wendell Cravens was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder of Charlie Skinner last June. Cravens could be eligible for parole after 15 years.

The District Attorney says sentencing took into account his age and the facts of the case.

But the victim's family says the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Mystic Matthews talked to the Skinner family.

Members of the Skinner family say they're not happy with the sentence given to Cravens, who confessed to killing their father and grandfather.

They say the hurt of losing their loved one still lives with them everyday and the 30-year sentence is too light.

70-year-old Charlie Skinner was found dead last June off county road 133 in Cooke County. He had been shot twice and his wallet and shoes taken.

The Skinner family just wanted justice out of this ordeal, but they say justice was not served.

“The guy that did it shot him twice and left him in the road like a dog. He gets 30 years and all we get is nothing but the cemetery," says Bo Skinner, Charlie Skinner’s son.

"How do you kill an elderly man? It's cold blooded," says Gus Sandoval, Charlie Skinner’s grandson.

"He did no wrong. These people had no reason to do what they did. If they wanted his money or clothes or shoes, he would have given it to them. They didn't have to do that. We miss him very much," says Tonya Sandoval, Charlie Skinner’s daughter.

The family says they still don't have closure because the reason for their father's death was never explained.

Cravens’ wife is also accused of being involved in the crime, but she has not yet gone to trial.
