Her killer is now 19 but cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was 16 at the time.

If he’s sentenced as an adult, his identity would become public and he would serve an automatic life sentence of 25 years with no chance of parole for 10 years.

The teen will be back in court on Wednesday afternoon.

A second teen who also pleaded guilty to second degree murder awaits his sentencing in September.
