Paul Ferguson, 21, testified against his mother, Shanda Margaret Vander Ark, 44, about her “sadistic” murder of his brother, Timothy Ferguson, 15, but that cooperation did not carry enough weight with a Michigan judge on Monday to save him from a lengthy prison sentence.

As referenced in court, Ferguson served as the “enforcer” while the three lived at the same home.

“I think you’re just as bad, if not worse,” Judge Matthew Kacel told him, sentencing the young man to 30 to 100 years in prison with 592 days credit for time served. Ferguson had pleaded guilty to child abuse for his role in Timothy’s death, but the judge had the option to go above or below guidelines in sentencing.

Vander Ark is set to serve the rest of her days behind bars for starving and torturing Timothy to death, having been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
