Four teenagers, ages 14 to 17, have been sentenced for their grandmother’s death, a case that left the courtroom filled with sorrow.
Prosecutors described the crime as deliberate, while defense attorneys pointed to family struggles and mental health. Emotions ran high—one teen broke down, another lashed out—as relatives wept quietly.
The judge imposed lengthy sentences, calling the tragedy a painful reminder of family’s worth. The grandmother, remembered as kind and loving, leaves behind a legacy that has renewed calls for stronger support for at-risk youth.
