BRIDGEPORT - As a young mother sobbed in the back of the courtroom on Thursday, Garth Minto tried to justify fatally shooting her 14-year-old son during a Dodge City-style shootout on a downtown street on Christmas Eve. “I know it was a tragic event,” Minto explained, looking at the crying Sol Marie Ribeira. “But hard decisions had to be made, that’s why they are called hard decisions.” His argument did not persuade Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin, who refused to withdraw Minto’s prior guilty plea to first-degree manslaughter with a firearm and instead sentenced Minto to the 20-year plea agreement.
