Four teenagers accused of fatally beating a classmate last year in Las Vegas have agreed to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter, which will keep them from being tried as adults, attorneys confirmed Thursday.
Nine students were arrested in connection with the melee on Nov. 1 involving a large group of people near Rancho High School, in which 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis was critically injured; he later died.
Attorney Robert Draskovich, who represents one of the four teens charged in the beating, said his client agreed to plead guilty in a deal that would crumble if any of the defendants involved changed their pleas.
Should any of them back out of the deal, all four would again be charged in adult court, Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney John Giordani said.
