Yesterday we told you about the trio the GSU busted for firearm, ammunition and marijuana at the mile 8 community. They are 18 year old Sherman Samuels, 20 year old Shakedi Baizar and a 17 year old minor.
Well today the 17 year old pleaded guilty, and told Magistrate Carlon Mendoza that the gun is his that he got from a friend who went away to the states and left him with it. He said he has been using it for protection for his life because someone wants to kill him. The Magistrate inquired further into the minor's story and found that he is not sure of his age because both his parents died 10 years ago and they gave him away to foster parents without first registering his birth.
Still, his guilty plea was accepted, but that doesn't mean that the other two got off. Samuels and Baizar who pleaded not guilty to the firearm and ammunition offenses were all remanded into custody until December 10, 2015.
The trio all pleaded guilty to possession of 51 grams of weed but the Magistrate deferred sentencing for that offense to December 10th when the minor will also be sentence on the guilty plea for keeping a firearm and ammunition.
