Overview

• Sisk was convicted in April 2025 of four counts of capital murder for the 2019 shootings of his father, stepmother and three half-siblings in Elkmont, Alabama.
• He is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole imposed in September 2023 after the judge rejected mental-health claims and described the killings as “draped in unmitigated evil.”
• His lawyers contend he merely echoed police suggestions under duress during a custodial interrogation and are challenging the legality of his confession.
• The initial 2022 trial ended in mistrial after the FBI unlocked the victim’s phone, uncovering new evidence that led prosecutors to pursue a retrial.
• Prosecutors highlighted his lack of remorse and chilling prison messages, including one in which he boasted he “killed my family in less than four seconds.”
