Teens Convicted of Murdering Luis Ramirez Sentenced To Seven Months in Jail

Some excerpts :

Brandon Piekarsky, 17, and Derrick Donchak, 19, received 7 to 23 month sentences for their roles in the brutal murder of 25-year-old Mexican immigrant, Luis Ramirez. It is a case that has galvanized the community of Shenandoah, PA, creating a hot bed of racial tension in a blue collar town. An all-white jury convicted the two teens of misdemeanor simple assault. However, they were acquitted of all felony counts, including aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation—charges that would have carried lengthier sentences, and perhaps left the children and fiancĂ©e that Ramirez left behind with a sense of justice.

Judge William Baldwin acknowledged the brutality of the attack and the seemingly light sentences that he was handing down to the teens, but he noted that he could only pass a sentence in keeping with the charges the boys were found guilty of. "This wasn't any fight, this was a group of young athletes ganging up on one person. That's not a street fight," Baldwin said, refuting the defense use of the term "street fight" to describe the beating that left Luis Ramirez in a coma for two days before he passed away. "You picked out a guy who wasn't one of you and beat the pulp out of him."
