Teens who beat boy to death get SWEETHEART plea deals, leaving victim's mother 'stunned'

Melissa Ready, the mother of a 17-year-old boy who was run over and killed by four stalkers in Las Vegas, was shocked to learn they had accepted a plea deal that reduced the charges to juvenile involuntary manslaughter.

According to reports, Jonathan Lewis tried to defend a younger friend on November 1, 2023 and was attacked by a mob of 15 teenagers. Four of them beat him to the ground until he was unconscious. He died six days later in hospital. The entire horrific incident was captured on video, but it made no difference to the authorities who cut the deal.

“Dontral Beaver, 16, Damian Hernandez, 18, Treavion Randolph, 16, and Gianni Robinson were charged with her murder after being charged as adults in January,” he said. daily mail reported “On Thursday, it was announced that they all accepted a plea agreement that will allow them to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter as juveniles.”

“This case would take place in juvenile court, and the four face an undetermined length of time in a juvenile detention center. If any of the teenagers back out of the deal, the four would be charged again in a adult court, Chief Deputy District Attorney John Giordani said,” the outlet noted.

Remember Jonathan Lewis, the white Las Vegas teenager who was hit last year and died in the hospital six days later?

The mother said creepily 8News Now that she was upset after the deal was announced. He claimed the four teenagers should be tried as adults.

“You can't jump on a human being's head, step on it and think they're going to be alive afterwards. They knew they were going to die, and that's how I feel, and they let them get away with murdering them,” he told the outlet.

“They told me they would plead guilty to murder and that the maximum they would get in the adult system is two years. I would not have agreed with the deal at all. They should be responsible as adults – they did a adult choice,” Ready commented.

The heartbroken mother said the move by prosecutors left her “stunned” and “in shock”.

“Of the nine teenagers arrested, four others, including a 13-year-old boy, have pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in juvenile court,” wrote the Daily Mail. “Las Vegas authorities have said the students agreed to meet in the alley to fight over a pen and wireless headphones that had been stolen from Lewis' friend.”

After Lewis was brutally beaten, a student and a neighbor pulled him to safety. Eventually, EMTs and an ambulance arrived along with the police.

“Defense lawyer Robert Draskovich, representing Robinson, called the fight a tragedy but said sentencing the four as adults would have been a second tragedy,” the Daily Mail said.

“This settlement allows my client to graduate from high school, move on with his life and become a productive citizen,” the attorney commented.

Outrageously, Draskovich is asking that at sentencing Robinson be released from prison with credit for time already served.

Jonathan Lewis was white. His attackers were black. Apart from the local media, the national media is avoiding this story.

Just then, the butt-covering began.

“In a statement, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson acknowledged Lewis' mother's comments and 'the pain she is going through as her son cries,'” the Daily Mail reported. “She added that she had been informed last week about the terms of the negotiations before defending the resolution of the case.”

“The statement said juvenile court is 'best equipped to punish defendants for their heinous conduct' while providing rehabilitation,” the outlet added.

The state of Nevada can charge a teenager who faces a count of murder as an adult if he or she was 13 or older when the crime was committed.
