He accepted a plea deal for voluntary manslaughter, landing him a sentence of 22 years.
Before hearing the judge's final say, Faulk made another attempt to further delay the decision.
"I am just asking for a fair shot. I am willing to take a plea, just not this one," said Faulk to the judge.
Faulk was supposed to be sentenced last Wednesday, but requested a new attorney, which was granted.
However, Wednesday morning, Faulk claimed that his brother had hired a different attorney, who did not show up to court.
"Who did your brother attain?" asked the judge.
"My brother said he needs a couple of days, and he will get him up here," responded Faulk.
"Mr. Faulk, who did your brother attain?" the judge asked once again.
"I don't know," said Faulk.
Faulk wanted to change his plea and asked for more time to speak with his brother.
His appointed Fresno County Defense Attorney, Regina Chessari, said there was no basis to support Faulk's request.
"I did review the transcripts and change of plea, the waiver of apelet right. I did extensive research on whether or not Mr. Faulk even has the ability to withdraw a plea. There appears to be no legal basis," said Chessari.
She also advised Faulk not to speak on his behalf.
Regardless, Faulk shared a few words and interrupted the judge several times.
"Sir, he kept saying, the judge is going to railroad you, the judge will not talk to you, over and over and over," said Faulk.
"Alright, sir, I have heard enough. I have heard enough," responded the judge.
The judge stood firm on his sentence, a long time coming for Cannon's family.
Charges weren't filed until 2019.
Then, it took five years to get to trial, which ended in a hung jury.
Cannon's family did not attend court Wednesday morning, but did show up last week and had an opportunity to make their final statements, during which they shared the challenges of waiting over a decade for justice.
"I'm glad for this to be over. Finally, I could forget you and start remembering my uncle's beautiful smile and all the silly, awesome memories we have together," said Sarah Cannon, Cannon's niece.
Faulk was initially in custody for armed robbery in 2004, which gave him a 25-year prison sentence. While he was in custody for the robbery, he also picked up seven new convictions for a variety of crimes, including possession of alcohol, drugs, and weapons.
