HONOLULU -- The man accused of killing a pet pig in Mililani made a tearful plea for leniency on Friday in a separate case.

Joseph Calarruda still faces a second trial for the killing of "Porky" the pet pig. The first jury could not reach a verdict.

He was sentenced on Friday for being a felon in possession of a firearm, an AK-47 he brought to his workplace.

"When my Kawailani tells, who is now 13 years old, tell me 'Daddy, I love you no matter what,' it makes me cry tears of joy, and love life for how it is, and for what it is supposed to be for," Calarruda said.

Judge David Lo gave Calarruda 10 years in prison and ruled he must serve at least a third of that before parole.

Calarruda's first felony was a kidnapping charge associated with abuse of a girlfriend.
