I guess I'm not especially shocked at the plea. A conviction was pretty inevitable and when a plea bargain offer wasn't forthcoming even at the last minutes, pleading to the charges at least gives him something that looks good at the sentencing hearing. Or his first parole hearing 40 years or whenever from now.
I'm kind of surprised they gave him life.

Florida teen sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing 13-year-old classmate
Personally I think he deserves death. But Im okay with life.
This really gets to me. She was alive for most of the attack and trying to defend herself. She must have been scared to death.Bailey’s body was found on May 9, 2021, after her family had reported her missing earlier that day. She had been stabbed 114 times and sustained 49 defensive wounds to her head, hands, and arms, according to the state attorney.
Even Florida isn't going to give a kid the death sentence. There's been a lot of outrage in the past few years about giving kids life sentences, but I think the main outrage was over life without parole, so that's why I was trying to see if he had a chance at parole. Florida is doing what they want to right now (thanks DeSantis) and if they gave him LWOP I look for it to be overturned and knocked down a lot.
Yes, he will be eligible in 25 years. And that's probably the best thing because it will most likely keep his sentence from being overturned as unjust since he was under 18., It's not a guarantee, just a chance. I think we all want him locked away forever, but the Supreme Court has ruled that someone under 18 can't get LWOP, and if Florida had done that they probably would have knocked the sentence down on appeal to a lot lower sentence.

Judge Smith said because of his age he will eligible for parole after 25 yrs.
I guess this is the best they could do, Im ok with that I guess. I definately dont want this to be overturned on appeal.
He will get out at 41. Thats pretty young and gives him plenty of time to be murdery again. He will probably just be more careful and hide the body next time.
Like I said earlier. She did nothing to him. He had no reason to kill her, and he majorly over killed. For no reason. He chopped someone up and doesnt even feel bad. Pure psychopath. And psychopaths thrive in jail.
He didn't exactly chop her up...
I think one of the YouTube news videos, I watched, said he threatened correction officers and intimidated inmates into handing over their commissary items. Also, he had a tablet that he could play offline games on. I hope since he's been sentenced, he doesn't get away with that type of crime and luxuries.
