[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] A New Jersey man will be spending life in prison — and then some — for crimes so brutal the judge called the bloody scene a “house of horrors.” On Friday, Jeremy Arrington was sentenced to 375 years in prison — three consecutive life sentences — for fatally stabbing Ariel Little Whitehurst, 7, and her brother, Al-Jahon Whitehurst, 11, and fatally shooting college student Syasia McBurroughs, 23, a friend of the family who happened to be visiting their home on November 5, 2016.
The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said in a release that the 32-year-old had known the victims for years, and attacked the family after he became irate over a Facebook post.
