Teen who played role in slaying of Barnard College student Tessa Majors sentenced to nine years to life in prison.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Robert Mandelbaum said there should be no leniency for Lewis because he's been accused of participating in several gang assaults while in jail in the past year.“This is not an aberration,” Mandelbaum said. “The defendant has learned no lessons from his experience in this case.”
In his allocution on Thursday, Lewis implicated friend Rashaun Weaver, also now 16, as Majors' primary attacker nearly two years ago. Weaver has pleaded not guilty to murder and robbery charges. His attorney could not be immediately reached for comment on Friday. "On December 11, 2019, the hopes and dreams of our daughter Tess came to a tragic end," her family said in statement read in court by Manhattan Assistant DA Matthew Bogdanos."Nearly two years later, we still find words inadequate to describe the immeasurable pain, trauma and suffering that our family has endured since her senseless murder."
