NO JAIL FOR DELAWARE TEEN IN FATAL BATHROOM ATTACK

A 17-year-old Delaware girl will not serve prison time for last year’s fatal attack of a classmate in a high school bathroom.

Even though the mother of victim Amy Inita Joyner-Francis and a state prosecutor implored the judge to send Trinity Carr to a juvenile prison, the judge sentenced her to six months at Grace Cottage — a secure residential program for female youth near Wilmington. He also banned her from social media and ordered her to complete various other forms of probation and community service until age 21.

Another 17-year-old, who was accused of planning the attack but never punching Joyner-Francis, was sentenced to 18 months of community supervision.
