QUEENSBURY — The central New York man who was convicted of murder for the killing last summer of Glens Falls resident Kevin Jenks was sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison during an emotional hearing Tuesday.

Warren County Judge John Hall deemed Robert M. Henry a “persistent violent felon” and imposed consecutive sentences for the killing last July of the 58-year Jenks in his Dix Avenue home and crimes that occurred along with the homicide.

Hall pointed out that Henry had seven prior robbery convictions dating back nearly three decades before he was involved in the killing of Jenks.

“He is a cold, calculated killer who deserves the absolute maximum,” Warren County Assistant District Attorney Matthew Burin said.

Henry reiterated his innocence before Hall imposed the sentence, saying his co-defendant was to blame for Jenks’ killing but that he was sorry about being involved in the robbery that led to the killing.

“I’m not the man responsible for Mr. Jenks’ death,” Henry said.
