Piece of shit could be paroled in less than 7 years.
TEENAGER ADMITS HE STRANGLED 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND THEN DUMPED HER BODY IN RECYCLING BIN
CAMDEN, N.J. (TheBlaze/AP) â A teenager admitted Wednesday that he strangled a 12-year-old girl who disappeared last fall while out riding her bike, touching off a massive search that ended when her body was found in a recycling bin just blocks from her home.
Justin Robinson, 16, pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in the death of Autumn Pasquale after agreeing earlier in the day to have his case moved to adult court.
While there was forensic evidence that places Autumnâs death in Robinsonâs house, there was not clear evidence â other than the boyâs admission â that he was the one who choked the girl to death, the prosecutor said.
Under a plea agreement, Robinson faces a 17-year prison sentence with no chance of parole for more than 14 years when a judge metes out his punishment Sept. 12. Faulk said that if the case had remained in juvenile court, the maximum sentence would have been 20 years, but he would have had a chance of parole in less than seven years.
His brother Dante was 17 at the time and also is charged with murder in the case. His case is pending in juvenile court. Because of a court order, prosecutors and others involved in the case would not discuss those charges.
The public defender representing Justin Robinson did not return a call.
Jaime Kaight, an attorney for Autumnâs mother, Jennifer Cornwell, said prosecutors did âthe best they couldâ in a challenging case.
Doug Long, a lawyer for the slain girlâs father, Anthony Pasquale, said it was hard for him to sit through the sentencing Wednesday.
âMr. Pasquale knows that no amount of years on a sentence is going to bring his daughter back,â Long said. âThe only justice would be to bring Autumn back, but that will never happen.â
Forty-eight hours after the girl went missing Oct. 20, her body was found in a recycling bin near the Robinsonsâ home in Clayton, a rural community 25 miles south of Philadelphia.
Authorities had credited a tip from the suspectsâ mother with helping them solve the case. They said she saw something in one of their Facebook posts that gave her cause to call police. The call led them to the body and her sons.
Initially, some of the victimâs relatives complained about the search for the girl and the way Gloucester County prosecutors handled the case, which was eventually moved to the Camden County prosecutorâs office.
Autumnâs parents later had a legal squabble over money raised to help their families, but they eventually reached a settlement over that dispute.
Say, doesn't that goon look like the son Obama never had?
I wonder if Obama and Oprah will be calling the victim's family?
The race hustlers are still exploiting Emmit Till, but this girl is already forgotten.
