Student Accepts Plea Deal In School Violence Plot Case:
It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything on the plot to attack Newington High School. The suspect in the plot, 17-year-old Frank Fechteler, pleaded guilty to charges of first-degree threatening and two felony counts of manufacturing bombs. The plea avoids a life sentence for Fechteler. He’s now looking at a max of 12-years. The suggested sentence seems a little confusing to me.
In agreeing to plead guilty to first-degree threatening and two felony counts of manufacturing bombs, 17-year-old Frank Fechteler now faces a maximum 12-year prison sentence that will be suspended after four years, followed by five years of probation.
So really is he looking at 4-years behind bars and 5 years probation? I’m a little rusty on court math.
