SAVANNAH, Ga. () — A 21-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for the 2021 murder of a 16-year-old in a Chatham County courtroom on Tuesday.

Jamary Brown, 21, was found guilty in November for the murder of Amarion Robinson.

Brown was also sentenced to 20 years for aggravated assault and five years for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. These will be served consecutive with count one of malice murder.

Robinson’s mother, Tina Brant, told News 3 that she is disappointed in the outcome. She said the crime in unforgiveable.

Brown shot her son 15 times, prosecutors said.

“It destroyed our family,” Brant said. “We’ll never be the same. He took justice into his own hands. My son didn’t have a gun. My son didn’t even have a chance. It’s wrong. He shot my baby over 15 times. I will never forgive him. I’m sorry.”

According to prosecutors, the dispute on Dec. 6, 2021, was over an incident that happened six weeks before the shooting where Robinson reportedly hit Brown’s brother.

The prosecution called the shooting retaliation.

“I feel like he should have gotten no parole,” Brant said. “I don’t think 30 years is enough. My baby’s never coming back.”

Brant took the stand Tuesday morning to describe her son. She said Robinson was a “gentle giant” who was always happy, smiling and laughing.

“For the ones who love him, they know my baby,” Brant said. “My baby’s a gentle giant. He’s a good boy. He’s going to be missed. We miss him every day.”

The defense spoke before the sentencing about Brown’s learning disabilities, him having ADHD and also qualifying for special education. They also said that the lack of a father figure in Brown’s life may have contributed to his actions.

The Brown family didn’t want to comment on the sentencing, but on the stand, his mother described him as a “good kid.”

The prosecution talked about ongoing issues with Brown getting in trouble at school before the crime or even in one instance stealing his grandmother’s car. Brown also had a juvenile court order in January 2020.

No matter the verdict, Judge Stokes said that both families are forever changed.

There are some stipulations to Brown’s sentencing. If he gets parole, it will be supervised and there will be a no contact order with the Robinson family.

Brown can’t own a firearm, can’t have any new arrests, he’ll have alcohol and drug restrictions and take anger management courses during his probation, according to Stokes.
