Fletcher was tried as an adult because the court found she wouldn’t be amenable to treatment by the age of 20, according to court documents.
Fletcher was with her 19-year-old boyfriend Cordell Boyd when the couple shot and killed Tom Faccio, 69, Ann Faccio, 70, and Ann’s 75-year-old sister Emilia Elliot.
Lienhart said the house in which they were killed was not on the main road. She said she’s been told Fletcher and Boyd went to the front door. Multiple factors lead to the decision on Fletcher’s court outcome. Whitney Glover, an attorney who previously represented Fletcher, said the teenage Fletcher was a runaway.
“The Supreme Court said they lack culpability and shouldn’t be punished like an adult because their ability to make decisions, their ability to appreciate risk, their ability to understand the consequences of their actions, or to relate to the consequences of the actions of other people is very diminished by their brain development,” Glover said.Fletcher’s path has now been paved towards resentencing, but Glover said there are still procedural hurdles before that can happen.
