Court hears details on mental health of teen who killed baby
The sentencing hearing continues this week for the teenager who brutally murdered six-week-old Nikosis Jace Cantre in July 2016.
A judge is weighing the evidence and will decide whether the now 18-year-old will be sentenced as a youth or an adult for the second-degree murder.
The teen pleaded guilty to the killing in October 2016. In a hearing last Wednesday, a video of the teen’s confession played, detailing the gruesome attack.
Because she was 16 at the time, the teen can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act unless she is sentenced as an adult.
