Keith Woolford Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 The minor who was being investigated in this case was charged as an adult for illegal possession of a firearm. A plea agreement was struck and and he has been sentenced to 62 months in prison. http://ministeriopublico.gob.pa/ordenan-detencion-provisional-3-personas-se-logra-condena-mediante-acuerdo-pena-cuarto-implicado/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
