From the start, it was clear to Ohio police that Timothy Kendrick had committed a “particularly brutal murder” in 2021, but the defendant himself owned up to that mid-trial years later, after jurors were shown dozens of Snapchat videos he recorded beating 30-year-old Drew Mendelbaum to death, stabbing or otherwise cutting him 45 times, taunting the victim he met a gas station as a “goddamn loser,” and setting his body on fire a day later.

On Thursday, a judge in Franklin County sentenced Kendrick to serve life behind bars without the possibility of parole, seeing right through the defendant’s last-ditch pleas for “one more chance” to see the outside of prison walls again.
