This 18 year old man’s family breaks down when they hear the judge issue a 25 year sentence for armed robbery.
Caden Fontenette and 2 other young men used firearms to rob the Bulldog Convenience store.
Judge West said, “Things have just changed in such an incredibly dangerous way with young people doing what I just saw you do on that screen. I cannot imagine the fear that person had that was working in that store. Just trying to go to work, make a living and go home. He has three people come in and not just grab a little quick something and run out, but terrorize him for quite some time. Pulling him around, yanking him around, putting guns in his face. All three of you.”
Judge Raquel West also pointed out that Fontenette has been involved in violent altercations since he has been in jail following his arrest.
He will be eligible for parole after serving 50% of his sentence. Well before he turns 40.
