Donaldson Sentencing Delayed

GRAND HAVEN, MI (WHTC) – Tomorrow’s scheduled sentencing of Victor Donaldson has been postponed to a yet-to-be-determined date in Ottawa County Circuit Court. The Holland man was 16 when he stabbed 18-year-old Ja’Paris Rodgers to death along Riley Street on Holland’s North Side nearly 14 months ago, and Donaldson was convicted last month of first degree murder. Prosecutors argued that this was a gang-related incident, while Donaldson’s attorney claimed that it was an act of self-defense during a scuffle among two rival teen groups. Donaldson could get life in prison when he is sentenced.
