A Lexington man was sentenced Friday for his role in trying to cover up a triple murder committed by his father back in January 2011.
The attorney for William Blancet, Jr. said his client was sorry for his actions. On Friday morning in court, Blancet’s attorney argued his client suffered two heavy burdens no one should have to bear. The first was witnessing his own father commit a triple homicide, and the second being a key witness in the case that put his father in jail. The judge agreed, delivering the sentence that they were hoping for.

Blancet, Jr. admits he helped his father hide evidence. His father, William Blancet, Sr., eventually admitted to pulling the trigger that killed Donald Adams, Sr., Donald Adams, Jr. and Ronnie Sparks, Jr.
At the time, the younger Blancet told investigators his father shot the men because he was angry about being “ripped off” during a drug deal. His attorney said that within just a few hours after that, he took the police back to some dumpsters and they recovered evidence in the crime, but that didn’t change the fact that at the time he should never misled police no matter how traumatic the situation was.
William Blancet, Sr. is currently serving a life sentence without chance for parole.
