Sione Amanaki, initially facing a potential death sentence, accepted a plea deal for 32 years to life, highlighting the impact of youth on sentencing.
Haley Sparks-Hadsell's plea resulted in an 8-year, 4-month sentence for manslaughter and robbery, emphasizing the disparity in outcomes between the co-defendants.
The tragic incident involved Amanaki shooting Eric William Cavazos during a struggle over a firearm, leading to a serious and life-altering crime.
Amanaki's lawyer noted the DA's reluctance to consider a determinate sentence for such a young offender, raising questions about justice and youth.
