AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man was sentenced to 25 years in state prison for an August 2020 murder.
According to Travis County court records, 30-year-old Antonio Joiner was found guilty and convicted by a jury April 6. Documents showed he entered a not-guilty plea April 4 before his trial. He was sentenced April 7.
Court records show Joiner’s attorney filed a motion for a new trial April 10.
