The attack and the fight which ensued was witnessed by about a dozen children, including Junta's son and Costin's three sons. Junta was originally charged with voluntary manslaughter. The jury acquitted him on this charge, instead convicting him of involuntary manslaughter, a lesser offense, on the basis of his claim of self-defense. Judge Charles Grabau sentenced Junta to incarceration for six to ten years. In April 2008, Junta was denied parole for the second time. In denying his request, the Massachusetts Parole Board said that "Junta had failed to fully accept responsibility for his actions". Junta was eventually released on August 27, 2010. He died on December 16, 2020 after a battle with cancer.
