VICTORVILLE – (INT) – After more than 8-years of court appearances, the last two defendants in the slayings of a teenage couple at an abandoned military bunker on the high Desert have learned their fate.

A Superior Court judge ordered lengthy prison terms for David Smith and Cameron Thomson.

Both pleaded guilty to the January 2008 slayings of high school sweethearts Bodhi Sherzer-Potter and Christopher Thompson. Smith admitted two counts of murder. Thomson earlier pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.

A third defendant, Colin McGlaughlin, was given a no-parole prison term in 2014.

Prosecutors said the trio intended to rob the victims, but took them to a bunker west of Barstow where they were shot.
