Justin Hansen sentenced to 18 years for 2008 'Shovel' beating

ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Brittani Marcell was nearly beaten to death with a shovel in her home (2008). Police found one drop of blood DNA on the window of the home and it belonged to Justin Hansen. She never saw her attacker until she was later hypnotized. He denied ever being near her home until he plead "no contest" to aggravated burglary and attempted murder in 2018. He was criticized recently for attending a local sports game wearing his monitored, ankle bracelet. He was under house arrest at the time. New Mexico residents have been following this case since Justin was arrested in 2018.

Justin went on the news program "20/20" (ABC) to tell his story and proclaimed his innocence. 

The judge sentenced him to 18 years behind bars for the attack on Brittani. It was the maximum sentence under his "no contest" plea.
