A teenager who shot Colombian senator sentenced to 7 years
A teenager who shot Colombian Senator Javier Parra in an attempted robbery has been sentenced to 7 years in prison. The incident took place on September 15th outside the senator’s residence in Bogota, Colombia. The teenager, whose identity has not been disclosed due to being a minor, aimed to steal Parra’s belongings but ended up shooting him in the leg during a struggle.
The defense attorney argued that the teenager did not intend to harm the senator but panicked during the encounter. The prosecution, on the other hand, emphasized the seriousness of the crime and pushed for a strict sentence to serve as a deterrent.
Senator Parra expressed relief that the judicial process had reached a conclusion and hoped that the teenager would have the opportunity to rehabilitate and reintegrate into society after serving the sentence. The teenager’s family expressed remorse for the actions of their child and pledged to support them throughout the legal proceedings and rehabilitation process.
The sentencing of the teenager to 7 years in prison has sparked discussions about the rehabilitation of young offenders in Colombia and the effectiveness of the justice system in handling such cases.
