Colville boy’s sentence reduced
Fri., Feb. 14, 2014
COLVILLE – An 11-year-old implicated in a plot to kill a classmate last year has responded well to treatment and will be released in time to return to school for his eighth-grade year. Wearing high-top sneakers, an orange polo shirt and glasses, the boy came with his parents to court, where Stevens County Judge Allen Nielson on Thursday cut his sentence by about half. The decision came at the recommendation of prosecutors and defense attorneys. He will now spend a total of 128 weeks in custody.
