Marcus Stanford, 25, was sentenced this at Leeton – where 26-year-old Miss Scott was raped and murdered by Vincent Stanford last year – by Acting Justice Robert Hulme.
The sentence angered one supporter of Ms Scott’s family, who called Stanford a “piece of shit” as he left the courtroom.
The 15-month sentence was backdated to when Stanford went in custody – June 10 last year.
Justice Hulme agreed Stanford’s offence was at the lower end of objective seriousness, but condemned Stanford for putting his murderous brother’s interests ahead of morality and human decency by selling two of Ms Scott’s rings mailed to him by his identical twin brother and burning her drivers licence.
