Crazed gunman who murdered dad visiting his son at Marist College gets maximum sentence

The crazed gunman who shot dead a Long Island dad visiting his son at upstate Marist College was hit with the maximum life sentence on Monday.

Roy Johnson, 35, was sentenced to 58-years-to-life in state prison following his murder conviction last month in the October 2022 shooting of Paul Kutz at a Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County prosecutors said.

“Due to the egregious facts of this case, as well as the immeasurable loss and trauma inflicted on the victims, my office recommended the maximum penalty allowable by law,” Dutchess County Chief Assistant District Matthew Weishaupt said in a statement.

“We are extremely pleased that Judge [Edward] McLoughlin sentenced the defendant in accordance with our recommendation,” Weishaupt said.
