The mother of Jonathan Lewis, a Las Vegas teenager who was beaten to death in 2023, is criticizing the Clark County District Attorney after the accused killers were given a plea deal to avoid adult prison. The plea deal has sparked outrage as the bullies, who were filmed stomping the 17-year-old to death outside school, will be charged as juveniles for manslaughter instead of being tried as adults for murder. The lenient plea deal has left the victim’s mother distraught, accusing the legal system of letting the perpetrators get away with murder. Four teens were involved in the attack.
