A Yuba County judge issued the sentence against 22-year-old William Silliman Jr. on Tuesday. According to the Marysville Appeal-Democrat (http://bit.ly/XCiSWc), Silliman acknowledged providing the shotgun that another man used to gun down 38-year-old Steven Moore in Marysville on Dec. 31.

Silliman was convicted of second-degree murder last month.

The shooter, 33-year-old Marcus Hume, pleaded guilty to second degree murder in September and was later sentenced to 55 years to life in prison. The Appeal-Democrat reports that Hume was angry with Moore over a rumored sex tape involving an 18-year-old girl they both had been involved with romantically.

Silliman's attorney, Rick Worrell, says he plans to appeal.
