PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - A sentencing hearing for a Michigan teen
who police say shot and killed a 14-year-old from Alabama outside a
church has been pushed back to next week.
Eighteen-year-old James Cecil Willis III of Pontiac was
scheduled to appear Wednesday before Oakland County Circuit Judge
Wendy Potts. But the hearing was reset for Nov. 25.
Willis pleaded no contest last month to second-degree murder and
felony firearm. Under a plea agreement, he is 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.
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.
