John Calgaro sentenced to 25 to 75 years in prison for murder

On Friday, March 16, 2018,  John Joseph Calgaro was sentenced Barry County Circuit Court to 25 to 75 years in prison for Second Degree Murder in the death of Matthew Morin.  His sentence is to run consecutively to the sentence he received for a probation violation in Van Buren County in 2016. 

 

Last week Calgaro pled no contest to Second Degree Murder in the death of Morin, of South Haven. Morin went missing in early July 2016.  His body was discovered by Michigan State Police in a remote area of Pine Lake Road in Barry County. 

 

Calgaro later admitted to running over Morin twice with his vehicle on July 5, 2016, claiming it was an accident.  However, the investigation revealed that Calgaro returned to the scene to bury Morin’s body and stole Morin’s identity, leading to a charge of Open Murder.

 

In exchange for Calgaro’s plea to Second Degree murder, Barry County Prosecutor Julie Nakfoor Pratt dismissed the less serious charges of Unlawfully Driving Away of a Motor Vehicle, Identity Theft and Possession of a Financial Transaction Device, as well as the Habitual Offender notice.
