Teenage girls sentenced to life, 30 years for murder of "friend"

Story here.

'A West Virginia teenager has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for her role in her friend's death.

Seventeen-year-old Rachel Shoaf apologized before being sentenced Wednesday in Monongalia County Circuit Court. She pleaded guilty last May to second-degree murder in the July 2012 death of 16-year-old Skylar Neese.

Media outlets report that Judge Russell Clawges ordered Shoaf to serve her sentence in a state prison. She'll remain in a juvenile facility until her 18th birthday.

Co-defendant Shelia Eddy* was sentenced Jan. 24 to life in prison with the possibility of parole for first-degree murder.

Neese was lured from her home, stabbed to death and her body left in the woods. Prosecutors never divulged a motive. Shoaf told police the girls no longer wanted to be friends with Neese.'

* Eddy was 18 at the time of the murder. Shoaf dodged life by less than a year's worth of hanging out and doing whatever it is murderous teenage girls do to pass their time until reaching 18. Ahh, the justice system. Well at least they got some serious time for the serious crime. Guess we'll see how long they actually remain behind bars. Would they have gotten these sentences if their "friend" had had a penis? Probably not.
