A teenager has been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for murdering a 10-year-old girl by shooting at a group of people down a city street in upstate New York.
Jermayne Timmons admits he fired a gun on the Albany street. But the 16-year-old says he didn't fire the shot that killed Kathina Thomas as she played outside her home last May.
Timmons claimed the gun he fired had a different caliber from the bullet that killed the girl. The weapon was never found.
Judge Stephen Harrick called Timmons' account "wholly unbelievable" Friday and handed him the maximum sentence for second-degree murder and weapons possession. Timmons was prosecuted as an adult but sentenced as a juvenile. The maximum term for adults is 25 years to life.
