Well, today he was sentenced to life in prison for the crime. Justice Nigel Pilgrim told Welch that he has to serve a term of 29 years before he would be eligible for parole. The sentence is to commence from October 16, 2020, when Welch was remanded into custody.

Before he handed down the sentence, Justice Pilgrim took into consideration the aggravating and the mitigating factors. He said the incident occurred in broad daylight and a firearm was used.

The incident occurred after 4 pm on October 12, 2020, at the Yabra basketball court. Dennison's friend, Jervis Usher, with whom he was playing basketball, testified that the ball went out of bounds and when he went to get it, he saw Welch pull out a gun and shot Dennison three times.
