洛杉磯時報:3 teens from China will go to prison for a San Gabriel Valley attack on a classmate
Under the agreement with prosecutors, the trio will plead no contest to charges of kidnapping and assault, according to Deputy Dist. Atty. Casey Jarvis, who is prosecuting the case. Zhai will be sentenced to 13 years in prison, Yang to 10 and Zhang to six, he said.
Jarvis said his office agreed to drop the torture charge, which carries a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole, because the teens had no criminal history.
"We felt in the interest of justice it was the right thing to do," Jarvis said.
