"Ronnie Lessa admitted to firing 14 shots in the 2018 drive-by shooting that killed political star Marielle Franco, resulting in a sentence of 78 years and nine months."
"Elcio de Queiroz, who confessed to driving the getaway car, was sentenced to 59 years and eight months, highlighting the need for accountability in politically sensitive crimes."
"Judge Lucia Glioche emphasized that the sentence was also a message aimed at the many Lessas and Queirozes who exist in Rio and remain at large."
"Franco's father expressed deep sorrow, illustrating the long-lasting emotional impact of the crime on the victims' families and the community."
