Something is really wrong in this story. No child kills a parent for no purpose. What was the REAL reason behind this murder?
QUOTE WARSAW, Ind. (AP) — A 15-year-old Indiana boy who told a judge he "made a really bad choice" was sentenced Monday to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty in his stepfather's shooting death.
Kosciusko Circuit Judge Rex Reed agreed to a plea deal in which the teenager agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in exchange for prosecutors dropping charges of murder and aiding murder. Reed recommended that the last five years of the sentence be suspended while the boy is on parole.
"I hope I'm given the choice to prove I can do good things in my life still to come," the boy said. His eyes were filled with tears when he turned to look at his family before being led out of court.
At a hearing earlier this month, the boy testified that he and a 12-year-old friend decided during a meeting at a park to kill his 49-year-old stepfather. The plan was to kill Phillip Danner, then run away from home. The teenager said he opened a bedroom window to let his friend into the house near Lake Wawasee midway between Fort Wayne and South Bend.
They took two loaded guns from the bedroom, went into the living room and waited. The 15-year-old said he and his friend both shot Danner. Authorities have said Danner was shot once in the eye, once in the wrist and twice in the chest.... Source 5l
