Teen Has Opportunity for Fresh Start

An Henrico County teenager facing felony charges for robbery, abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony may be able to resume her normal life before turning 21 as a result of a plea agreement negotiated with the Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.

The 16 year old was in the company of three adults who broke into the apartment of four young men and robbed them while holding them at gunpoint. The four were arrrested based on the descriptions the vicitms were able to provide police.

A negotiated plea agreement resulted in the Commonwealth's motion to dismiss the most serious charges that carried mandatory minimum sentences, and the client agreed to plead guilty to the less serious charges for which no mandatory jail time was imposed.

While in custody and awaiting trial, she successfully completed requirement for her GED, and has begun taking college-level courses offered through the Department of Juvenile Justice Services.

As a condition of her plea agreement, she will remain in jail until she is 21, but may be eligible for early release prior to that time.

The adults involved received jail sentences of more than 6 years each.

Mr. Stelly regularly appears in the courts of the City of Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County, Goochland County, and Hanover County.
