PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan teen who police say shot and
killed a 14-year-old from Alabama outside a church is scheduled for
sentencing.
Eighteen-year-old James Cecil Willis III of Pontiac is scheduled
to appear Wednesday before Oakland County Circuit Judge Wendy Potts
for sentencing.
Willis pleaded no contest last month to second-degree murder and
felony firearm. Under a plea agreement, he is set to spend 17 to 35
years in prison.
He could have gone to prison for life without the possibility of
parole if convicted of first-degree murder, an option for jurors
under the original charge of open murder.
Police say Willis was a member of the Goon Squad gang and fired
a gun into a crowd outside a Pontiac church in 2008. Dawan
Allan-France Roberson of Akron, Ala., was killed.
