CASE CLOSED -- KILLER SENTENCED
I also believed that 16-year-old Skylor Atilano should be tried as an adult.
News of the case has been hard to come by because Atliano was being held in juvenile detention while it was being determined whether he would be tried for murder as an adult or a juvenile.
Turns out, more than a year after his arrest, the judge ruled in favor of trying now 17-year-old Skylor Atilano as a juvenile. And, prosecutors downgraded the murder charge in exchange for a plea deal.
On Friday, in Riverside County juvenile court, Atilano pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
Judge Timothy Freer sentenced him to 12 years in juvenile detention. However, he must be released by the time he's 23, under California law.
Atillano intentionally beat his 11-year-old brother's head in with a rock, buried the little boy in a shallow grave in the backyard, participated in massive search efforts that went on for days, lied and tried to cover his ass...
And, this "kid" will be out roaming the streets before his 25th birthday. Total bullshit, IMO.
I guess the most society can do is hope that Atilano can somehow be "rehabilitated" before he's set free.
