Missouri Department of Corrections records show Harrison served a seven-year sentence for possession of a controlled substance. He was released last Jan. 27, but violated terms of his parole._
A conviction for second-degree murder carries a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life behind bars with the possibility of parole.
