He pleaded guilty to attempted murder, carjacking, and possession of a weapon.
A judge sentenced him to 20 years on the attempted murder charge, 20 years for the carjacking charge, and five years on the weapon charge. Little was given credit for time served of 603 days and his sentences will run concurrently.
