JUDGE SAYS NO: Teen Killer BEGS For Final Family Hug Before Life Sentence \u2014 And Gets DENIED`
\nAn 18-year-old convicted in the 2024 murder of 15-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller was sentenced July 10 in Cape Coral, Florida.
\nBefore being taken away, Thomas Stein asked the judge one last thing:
\n_\u201cIf I could just ask you one thing, if before I walk out of the courtroom, if I could give my family a hug, if you\u2019d allow that?\u201d_
\nThe judge said no.<\/p>\n
Stein and Christopher Horne Jr. were driving a rented SUV looking to burglarize cars when they randomly targeted Kayla and her friends walking home from a movie. Prosecutors say Stein drove past twice, then stopped. A gun was fired at close range. Kayla died at the hospital.
\nHorne took a plea deal and testified against Stein. He got less time.
\nStein got life, plus 45 years for attempted armed robbery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
