A Michigan judge has ruled that four teens who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2017 highway rock-throwing incident that led to the death of a 32-year-old man will be sentenced as adults.
A judge in Michigan has ruled that four teens who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2017 highway rock-throwing incident that led to the death of Kenneth White will be sentenced as adults.
Farah rejected the advice of every professional juvenile expert who testified at the sentencing hearing in the fall, all of whom had recommended juvenile sentencing. In court Tuesday, he said that while none of the four teens had dropped the fatal rock, Farah repeatedly said that not one had been forced or cajoled to be there.
"I'm so glad that Kenneth is getting the justice he deserves. ... My prayers were answered," Simpson told ABC News affiliate WXYZ-TV in Detroit."I'm ecstatic over the decision that was made today. ... It's what we all wanted for him." In court Tuesday, Farah referred to two days of exchanged SnapChat messages among the teens in which"the letters 'LOL,' 'LMAO' or 'HAHA' appear ... and many after it was learned that they had killed somebody."
"What was the purpose? Wait till the road cleared and drop to see it break? No. to make contact in this called 'Overpassing.' To be able to say aloud 'Dinger!' when a car was hit," he said.
