The mother of Jonathan Lewis, a Las Vegas student who was killed, is concerned that his killers may be getting away with murder. Four teenagers were arrested in connection to his death and agreed to a plea deal which moved their case to juvenile court. The teens, Damien Hernandez, Dontral Beaver, Gianni Robinson, and Treavion Randolph, originally faced murder charges but pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter. Melissa Ready, Jonathan Lewis’ mother, was blindsided by the plea deal and was under the impression that they would plead guilty to murder and receive no less than two years in the adult system. She is disappointed that there is no justice for her son’s murder.
Melissa Ready expressed her dissatisfaction with the two-year sentence in the adult system, stating that at least it would have been on the teens’ records.

This decision has left Ready feeling that there is no justice for her son’s murder and that his killers may not be held accountable for their actions.
