Toussaint Davis (a.k.a. John Healy) sentenced

Toussaint Davis
John Healy, or Toussaint Davis as proven by prosecutors, showed absolutely no remorse as the Corr family shared their thoughts.


"The despair, the destruction, and the terror inflicted by this convicted criminal," Joseph Corr's grandfather said as he pointed a shaky finger at Davis.

Joseph Corr's father David added, "You, Davis, you will never understand what you have taken from me. You and your cohorts out of absolute greed."


Corr's mother also shared remorse in losing her son and wasn't afraid to tell the man she refers to as arrogant exactly what she thought.

"You came here and devastated my family. You assaulted my community, and for that, I'll never forgive you. May you rot in hell," Kathleen Corr said.


But Davis, or Healy, sat smug the entire time. And when it was his turn to speak, he gave no apology and took no blame. Instead, he blamed New Hartford Police Chief Raymond Philo for Joseph Corr's death.


Davis sentenced to 300 years-to-life
300 years to life in prison. That's what a Pennsylvania man is looking at for taking in part in a jewelry heist that ended in the death of New Hartford Police Officer Joseph Corr last February. News 10 Now's Joleene Des Rosiers was at the sentencing where Toussaint Davis passed the blame of the officer's death onto the chief of police.
"I pray that he would take this opportunity to accept the responsibility of his actions for not teaching Officer Corr the basic of policing: how to apprehend an armed felon and how to properly respond to an armed robbery. So Philo, promise the Corr family that you will better prepare your officers so that this will not happen again," Davis said.


He may have shocked some with his words, but he did not break them. As he was led out of the courtroom, the family and the police force broke out into applause.


If Davis chooses to appeal, he's got 30 days to file.
