A judge has sentenced a Portland man to 7 ½ years in prison for shooting and killing his sister’s boyfriend last year.
Mark Cardilli Jr., 25, was initially charged with murder in the death of Isahak Muse, 22. Superior Court Justice Nancy Mills presided over a bench trial in December and ultimately found Cardilli guilty of the lesser offense of manslaughter. She also decided his sentence during an emotional hearing at the Cumberland County Courthouse in Portland on Monday. The total sentence is 11 years, but the judge suspended 3 ½ years.
“I expect no one will agree with this sentence or like this sentence who is in the courtroom today,” Mills said.

Cardilli has admitted to killing Muse during a fight at the Cardilli home in Portland’s Riverton neighborhood, but he said he was defending himself and his family. The prosecutors from the Maine Attorney General’s Office argued the law did not allow Cardilli to use deadly force during that confrontation in the early morning hours of March 16, 2019.
Muse came to the house that night to spend time with his girlfriend, Chelsey Cardilli. Her older brother had recently moved home after serving five years in the U.S. Army. The fight started as a dispute over whether Muse could spend the night at the Cardilli home, and the entire family was involved in a verbal and physical altercation before the shooting.
The Cardillis are white, and Muse was Black. Since the first days after the fatal shooting, the role of racism has been a constant question. While police investigated the incident, local Muslim leaders voiced their concern that it was a hate crime. When Mills set bail at $50,000 and allowed Cardilli to wait for his trial at home, protesters questioned whether a Black defendant would have had the same opportunity. And when Chelsey Cardilli took the stand at the trial, she said her brother made racist statements about Muslims, Somali people and Black people.
