A 16-year-old will spend five years in juvenile detention for stabbing her friend to death in a fight over sweet-and-sour sauce.
Naima Liggon, also 16, was killed in August after a confrontation among friends at a Washington, D.C., McDonald’s turned violent. As Law&Crime previously reported, officers responded to a report of a girl seeking treatment for stab wounds at a hospital, where the victim eventually succumbed to her injuries.
The defendant, who has not been publicly named, was originally charged with murder. She took a plea deal for manslaughter in December.
Now, she has been sentenced to five years in juvenile detention — the maximum sentence available, local ABC affiliate WJLA reported. She will be released when she turns 21.
