A 15-year-old girl has been found guilty of attempted murder after a tense jury trial, and now faces the possibility of spending the rest of her life in prison.
The teenager was accused of carrying out a violent attack that left the victim fighting for their life. Prosecutors argued the assault was deliberate and planned, while her defense claimed she acted out of fear and immaturity.
The jury deliberated before returning a unanimous guilty verdict, stunning both the girl and her family. Witnesses said she broke down in tears as the decision was read, realizing she could be sentenced to life behind bars despite her young age.
The case has sparked fierce debate online, with some calling the verdict a necessary step to deliver justice, and others arguing that sentencing someone so young to life in prison is too harsh.
