HAYWARD, Calif. (AP) — A popular northern California golf teacher convicted of molesting his students and plotting to kill them from jail was sentenced Thursday to 27 years in state prison.

Andrew Nisbet, 32, of Livermore, pleaded guilty to seven felonies including murder solicitation, possessing child pornography and lewd and lascivious acts on a minor.

The once popular coach was sentenced by an Alameda County Superior Court judge, said Teresa Drenick, a spokeswoman for the Alameda County District Attorney.

Under a plea deal, prosecutors dismissed nearly 80 felony charges that could have meant a life sentence.

1. Good Lord

[mackerel]

2. I can't imagine making a plea deal with that POS.

5. Probably so his victims didn't have to testify against him.

Even when he gets out, he'll have to register as a sex offender. He'll be lucky to ever get another job. His neighbors will hate and fear him.

3. Too lenient. He'll do more mischief when he gets out. Possibly in a few years, not 27. Yea, cynical.

10. Yeah, 27 seems waaayyyy too light

especially given his young age...He'll have a lot of life left when he is paroled early...

Including this one:



Which says:

Worrying: Nisbet was arrested at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore - the day before he was due to receive the prestigious PGA's 2013 Junior Golf Leader Award

Creepy guy. Glad the PD and detectives checked him out and caught him.

4. MURDER solicitation???

One reads this in stunned disbelief. I don't think the other charges should have been dismissed.

There's depraved and then there's super-duper double-down depraved, and this perp seems to be in the more severe category.

9. I imagine a few meetings with prospective hitmen went like

"The target is A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD?!!? I may be a heartless, amoral mercenary assassin, but I've got limits and you're just a sick fuck for even asking!!"

[Yo_Mama]

11. Yes. I get the feeling that I just read the first chapter in

a missing child story of 2034. This just can't end well.

6. He surely is already plotting his revenge.

On the positive side, he will probably severely piss-off someone in Prison and never make it out.

7. It should have been a life sentence (nt)

8. Oh, wow.
