Three Teens Receive Life Sentence for Killing Boy Lured to His Death
Three Teens Receive Life Sentence for Killing Boy Lured to His Death
by Girl's Promise of Sex

The Associated Press

Published: May 6, 2005

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Three teenagers were sentenced to life in prison Friday for killing a 16-year-old boy who was lured to his death by a girl who promised him sex.

Justina Morley, who was then 15, led Jason Sweeney to a secluded spot where the three boys attacked him with a hatchet, a hammer and rocks in May 2003. They stole $500 that Sweeney had earned doing construction work and went on a drug binge.

Domenic Coia, now 19, his brother Nicholas Coia, 18, and Edward Batzig Jr., 18, received life without parole for first-degree murder, plus 22 1/2 to 45 years for robbery and related offenses. Morley testified against the others and was sentenced earlier to 17 1/2 to 35 years, meaning she will be about 30 when she becomes eligible for parole.

4. And she was the ringleader, too
There's four black kids in Philly who are now on trial for a nearly identical crime.

Looks like the Pennsylvania death house will be receiving them shortly. But that's how D.A. Abraham likes it.
