A judge in New Mexico sentenced a teen to 30 days in jail in the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old man at a park last year.

Judge Cristina Jaramillo handed down the sentence to Santiago Armijo, 17, who had pleaded to second-degree murder and other charges, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

A giant fail of the criminal justice system.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A New Mexico teen who allegedly fatally shot a man — and told him he deserved it — will serve just 30 days behind bars for murder, according to officials.

Santiago Armijo, 17, is one of two teens involved in the murder of Larry DeSantiago, 25, at a park in Albuquerque in March 2018. Witnesses told investigators they saw DeSantiago chase Armijo and his friend, Jeremiah De La Pena, 16, toward the top of a hill before Armijo shot him in the chest.

“That’s what you get!" Armijo shouted at DeSantiago, according to the Albuquerque Journal, which reported Santiago later died at a hospital. Armijo and De La Pena were later arrested in a nearby neighborhood and police found the weapon in De La Pena's jacket.

On Thursday, Judge Christina Jaramillo sentenced Armijo to 30 days in juvenile jail after the teen, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, one misdemeanor count of unlawful possession of a handgun and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

Jaramillo told the victim's family her "hands were tied" because the maximum possible sentence for the teen would be four years in juvie. Prosecutors asked for the maximum sentence.

Yep, quite a plea deal (bargain?) with a 10 day sentence for each charge.

Yet if the kid gets into trouble when he is an adult will serve the full sentence that he should have because he will be on probation.
