A 16-year-old California girl will spend nearly a decade behind bars after admitting that she killed her mother last year after hatching the plan with her boyfriend and using a knife she had nicknamed “Buddy Buck.

Kern County Superior Court Judge Wendy Avila on Wednesday ordered Emily Evil Reznick to remain in a secure youth facility until she turns 25 for the July 2022 murder of her mother, 54-year-old Michelle Louise Taylor, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

Because Reznick was only 15 at the time of the slaying, she could not be charged as an adult in the Golden State. The California Supreme Court in 2019 unanimously upheld a state law requiring all defendants under the age of 16 to be tried in juvenile court, where convicted offenders can not be incarcerated beyond age 25.

“You haven’t even begun to comprehend the magnitude of what you’ve done,” Avila told Reznick during a Wednesday hearing, according to a report from Bakersfield NBC affiliate KGET-TV. “Your mother was your victim.”

Judge Avila also reportedly castigated Reznick for her lack of remorse, recounting conversations the teen had about killing her mother and saying she spoke about her like she was not even “a real human being.”

“The minor’s disregard for human life and her ability to commit this crime is deeply troubling to this court,” Avila reportedly said during the hearing.

Reznick’s boyfriend, Nikolai Thorn Roach, earlier this month also pleaded guilty to charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Judge Avila similarly sentenced him to remain in custody for Taylor’s “premeditated and gruesome” murder until he turns 25, Brownsville NBC affiliate KVEO-TV reported.

During Wednesday’s dispositional hearing, Assistant Kern County District Attorney Christine Antonios told the court that Reznick and Roach spent about a month planning Taylor’s murder, and prosecutors had the texts to prove it, according to KGET.

The texts reportedly showed Reznick telling Roach when to come to the house and what he should wear, while also touching on getaway plans and alibis. Messages also reportedly showed that Reznick had named the murder weapon, using the moniker “Buddy Buck” to refer to the knife she used to fatally stab Taylor multiple times.

The young couple also debated whether they should kill Taylor’s live-in boyfriend, Antonios reportedly said. In the immediate aftermath of the stabbing, Reznick reportedly told friends that she thought Taylor’s live-in boyfriend may have been the one who killed her. She also suggested that her mother may have taken her own life, KGET reported.

Following her arrest, Emily Reznick — who has said she was abused by her mother for much of her life — told police she was acting in self-defense, but the aforementioned text messages belied that claim.

Police on July 7, 2022 responded to a 911 call from a home located on Arthur Avenue in Oildale, just over 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The caller was later identified as Taylor’s live-in boyfriend, who was the first person to find her.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders found Taylor unresponsive and suffering from what appeared to be several stab wounds.

Emily Reznick and Roach were arrested the following day. While the young couple was in the back of a police vehicle equipped with a recording device, Reznick blamed her mom’s boyfriend for wrecking their plans, KGET reported.

In a grimly prescient move, she also reportedly told Roach that he shouldn’t be worried because they were both only 15 and would only be sent to “kid prison” for a little while.

Dylan Williams Murders Lucia Bremer

Dylan Williams was a fourteen year old living in Virginia when he would shoot and kill thirteen year old Lucia Bremer. According to court documents Lucia Bremer was walking with a friend when Dylan Williams would put a gun to her head. When Lucia swatted the gun away Williams would fatally shoot the thirteen years old

Dylan Williams would be arrested and would later plead guilty to the murder and would receive a sixty year prison sentence

Dylan Williams News

Two years after 13-year-old Lucia Bremer was killed during a walk home in Henrico’s West End, the now 16-year-old boy who confessed to her murder was sentenced to 60 years in prison.

Dylan Williams accepted a plea deal in the 2021 case in January and was facing a maximum 60-year prison sentence for first-degree murder, felony use of a firearm and attempted murder. Prosecutors dropped three additional charges because of the plea.

Judge Richard Wallerstein called the case a “tragedy of unspeakable proportions.”

The judge handed down his sentencing after reading 75 victim witness statements from the 13-year-old’s friends and family.

Lucia’s mother, father and two brothers were among those who spoke at the hearing. Her dad recalled watching his wife saying, ‘Baby girl, wake up’ over and over. He added that he didn’t understand that someone who commits a crime like this could one day walk free.

The girl’s best friend said she was walking with Lucia when the then 14-year-old Williams put a gun to her head in her family’s garage. The friend said she slapped the gun away and then ran inside. That is when Williams shot and killed Lucia.

The friend’s father said his daughter has survivor’s guilt.

The girl, who has been in counseling for the trauma, told the court “losing your best friend is the worst thing” before bursting into tears.

A neuropsychologist who conducted a neuropsych exam on Williams, told the judge the teen has antisocial personality disorder, also known as sociopathy.

Williams has a high risk to re-offend because there are no effective treatments for the disorder and he has low motivation to change, according to the neuropsychologist.

However, Williams’ lawyer, Kevin Parnell, disagreed with that diagnosis. He said there has to be a chance for rehabilitation since Williams is “just a kid.” He reiterated that Williams never knew his father and that his mother died from asthma in front of him in 2018.

Before the judge issued his sentence, Williams took the stand and apologized to Lucia’s family. He said that if he could, he would exchange his life to bring Lucia back.

Aiden Fucci Sentencing

Florida teen who fatally stabbed 13-year-old cheerleader Tristyn Bailey 114 times in 2021 was sentenced Friday to life in prison, authorities said.

Aiden Fucci, 16, was handed the sentence by Judge R. Lee Smith, said Haley Harrison, with the State Attorney’s Office 7th Judicial Circuit of Florida.

Harrison said Fucci’s sentence is subject to review by a judge in 25 years.

Fucci pleaded guilty in February to first-degree murder. He was 14 when he was arrested in the May 9, 2021 slaying.

Bailey was found dead in woods outside Jacksonville. According to a probable cause affidavit, Fucci told investigators that he got into an argument with Bailey and pushed her to the ground after they left a mutual friend’s before dawn on May 9.

While he was still considered a witness, Fucci snapped a photo of himself in the back of a police vehicle flashing a peace sign and posted the image to social media with the caption: “Hey guys has anybody seen Tristyn lately.”

He was arrested May 10 and initially accused of second-degree murder.

Days later, a grand jury indicted him on a first-degree murder charge, and Fucci was to be tried as an adult.

State Attorney R.J. Larizza stated the number of stab wounds supported the charge and showed the attack was premeditated.

On Wednesday, Bailey’s family provided emotional accounts during a sentencing hearing.

Alexis Bailey, Tristyn’s sister, dropped 114 teal stones into a glass jar to represent each time Fucci stabbed her younger sister.

“Aiden Fucci didn’t just take Tristyn’s life that day, he took everything from us,” she said during the hearing.

Alexis and another sister, Brittney Bailey Russell, said they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder since the slaying. Russell was on her honeymoon when she learned that her sister was missing.

“Agony isn’t painful enough. Shattered to the core doesn’t crumble like how I feel. Infuriated doesn’t even come close to touching the amount of rage I find myself trapped in,” she said. “And let me tell you, justice is just a word for comfort. It doesn’t bring her back,” Russell said.

Byrion Montgomery charged in shooting that left 3 dead at home outside Chicago

A 17-year-old was charged Monday with multiple counts of first-degree murder and other crimes in the fatal shootings of a girl he was dating and two other people in a suburban Chicago home, prosecutors said.

The suspect, identified as Byrion Montgomery, also charged with nine counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, home invasion, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office said.

He was arrested following the shootings Sunday night in Bolingbrook in what police said was a suspected home invasion.

Three people were pronounced dead at the scene. Police later identified them as 40-year-old Cartez L. Daniels, 17-year-old Samiya A. Shelton-Tillman, and a 9-year-old girl whose name has not been released. A 34-year-old woman who was shot was taken to the hospital, where her condition was stabilized.

A 14-year-old boy and a 3-year-old boy who were in the home at the time of the shooting were not harmed, police said.

Prosecutors allege Byrion Montgomery was dating Shelton-Tillman. They also said the suspect allegedly stabbed Daniels, CBS Chicago reported.

Bolingbrook police spokesman Anthony Columbus said Monday that “all indications are he was the sole offender.

The shooting was reported about 8:15 p.m. Sunday, and the suspect was arrested about two hours later near his home. It wasn’t clear whether Montgomery had an attorney who could to comment on the allegations against him. The teen was being held on $20 million bond.

A crime scene investigation was being conducted in the community about 30 miles west of Chicago, police said.

Neighbor Melinda Taylor told the Chicago Tribune she heard a loud thud Sunday night prior to first responders arriving at the home across the street.

Taylor said her son plays with a teen who lives in the home where the shooting occurred and that the family there never stuck out.

“They just came and go and went to work, like everybody else,” she said.

A neighbor who lives next door to the home where the shooting occurred told CBS Chicago that she did not hear the gunfire on Sunday night. She said the people living there were strangers to her, according to the news station. Others told the station they were shocked to hear about a crime of this nature happening on their block.

“Just seeing the number of ambulances on the street, I knew it was something really bad,” one woman said, according to CBS Chicago. Lashuna Fisher, a Bolingbrook resident, called the shooting “very devastating” in comments to the station.

“I’m a long resident of Bolingbrook, so that’s all I know is Bolingbrook,” Fisher told CBS Chicago. “When something like this hit in Bolingbrook, it’s just like hitting home. So it’s just like family, but not family.”

Teen Xavier Lewis Guilty Of Tiana Richardson Murder

Xavier Lewis was a fifteen year old from Florida when he shot and killed Tiana Richardson during a drug deal gone wrong. According to court documents Xavier Lewis invited Tiana Richardson over to his home to purchase marijuana but something went wrong and the teen killer would pull out a gun and fatally shoot Richardson. Xavier Lewis would be arrested shortly afterwards and would be tried as an adult. Xavier Lewis would be found guilty of murder.

When it came down to sentencing Tiana Richardson family wanted the teen killer to spend the rest of his life in prison however the judge would sentence the now seventeen year old to forty years.

Xavier Lewis More News

A basketball coach, a grandfather, a teacher and a mother had to strike a balance between highlighting the good and the bad about the 17-year-old boy convicted of murder.

A lifetime of trauma made Xavier Lewis impulsive and reactive, they said, which is how he found himself here, in criminal court, in the first place. But he was smart, too, and a leader — capable of being rehabilitated.

His best chance at that was in prison, said Circuit Judge Cymonie Rowe. She sentenced the teen Wednesday to 40 years for killing 32-year-old Tiana Richardson in December 2020. The penalty was more than a decade longer than his public defender asked for and two decades fewer than the prosecutor did.

Neither reacted immediately. One of Lewis’ friends flashed four fingers at the others, his eyebrows raised. Forty? They nodded.

WEST PALM BEACH — A basketball coach, a grandfather, a teacher and a mother had to strike a balance between highlighting the good and the bad about the 17-year-old boy convicted of murder.

Neither reacted immediately. One of Lewis’ friends flashed four fingers at the others, his eyebrows raised. Forty? They nodded.

Xavier Lewis called Richardson to his Boynton Beach neighborhood near Federal Highway and Gateway Boulevard to buy marijuana from her on Dec. 26, 2020. Gunfire cut the deal short and left Richardson dead behind the wheel, her girlfriend screaming and fleeing down the street while Lewis ran in the opposite direction – back to his home, where he stashed the gun in the garage.

Boynton Beach police arrested Lewis at Atlantic High School, where he was a freshman, two weeks later.

“I’m not a bad person,” Xavier Lewis told the judge Wednesday, reading aloud from a letter his classmates at the jail helped him write. “I just made a regrettable decision.”

There was never a debate over whether Xavier Lewis, then 15, pulled the trigger. Ballistics evidence, witness testimony and the teen’s own statements put him in the back seat of Richardson’s car, firing once into her head, then again and again into her back. The question was why.

Assistant Public Defender Renee Sihvola said Lewis pulled the trigger because he feared for his life — a fear she said stemmed from previous trauma and the presence of Richardson’s own gun in the car. Assistant State Attorney Jo Wilensky said Lewis lured Richardson to his neighborhood intent on killing her.

Jurors rejected the self-defense theory, but they didn’t believe Lewis planned to kill Richardson, either. They landed instead on second-degree murder with a firearm, sparing Lewis an automatic life sentence but leaving his fate up to the discretion of the judge.

Annie Richardson asked Rowe to issue the maximum penalty. Her daughter was easy-going and in the prime of her life, she said — the middle child of a large family, a self-taught mechanic, a soon-to-be homeowner, and now a gaping hole in their lives.

“His family can still talk to him, and get all the love and affection that I’ve been robbed of,” Richardson said between tears. “I can’t get that anymore.”

Wilensky asked Rowe to sentence the teen to 60 years in prison — not life — to account for his youth and troubled upbringing. Sihvola called the recommendation a “de-facto life sentence.”

She urged Rowe to sentence Lewis to 25 years instead, insisting that the emotional immaturity and lack of impulse control that drove his actions at 15 weren’t permanent. A teacher from the jail testified that she’d watched Lewis grow as a person and a student during his two-year stint there.

Like the jury, Rowe’s decision seemed to split the lawyers’ wishes down the middle

Evidence of a troubled childhood, in addition to Lewis’ age, intellectual capacity and mental and emotional health, persuaded her against sentencing him to life in prison, she said. Rowe added that she believes prison time will help rehabilitate the teen, “who seems to be doing well” while incarcerated.

Lewis’ friends sent a chorus of “good lucks” his way as the bailiffs began to handcuff him. His grandmother, Lily Head, called out her grandson’s name, just like she had when he’d been convicted. Her voice was weaker this time.

“Xavier,” she said. “It’s going to be all right.”
