‘Depraved’ killer gets 120 years in Taj Mahal carjacking case

MAYS LANDING, N.J. — Describing him as "cruel, depraved, and remorseless," a Superior Court judge sentenced Craig Arno to 120 years in prison Thursday for the brutal kidnapping and murder of an Atlantic City casino patron two years ago.During a highly charged sentencing hearing in Superior Court, Judge Michael Donio told the Atlantic City man he had to be "taken out of society for the rest of [his] natural life," noting that the sentence for murder, kidnapping, aggravating arson, and robbery would require Arno to serve 102 years in prison before becoming eligible for parole. At a second hearing Thursday, Donio sentenced Jessica Kisby, Arno’s former girlfriend, to 30 years with no parole eligibility for her admitted role in the abduction and attack, which claimed the life of Martin Caballero in May 2010. Under terms of a plea agreement, Kisby testified for the prosecution against Arno.
