NASHVILLE, Tenn. – It’s, in reality, only one life sentence, but a judge says four life sentences for the central Illinois man who opened fire in a Tennessee Waffle House four years ago must be served consecutively.
25 News through sister station WSMV reports Travis Reinking heard that ruling from a judge in Nashville Friday.
Reinking will also have to serve 114 more years in prison for other counts for which he was also convicted.
In court Friday, a judge reportedly read from a journal Reinking kept, which detailed prepared he was to kill.
Reinking’s father, Jeffrey, was to have been sentenced last week in Tazewell County for giving his son the gun used in the crime, but that was delayed until August 25th.
