TX: Fourth Teen is Sentenced in Death of Man Pushed into DART Train
A Dallas judge fought back tears on Thursday as he handed down a 22-year sentence to the last of four teens sentenced in the killing of a man pushed into a South Dallas DART train last year.
In an interview after the emotional sentencing, Harper said she believes the boy received a fair sentence. But it doesn't compare to her life sentence, she said.
"I would love to wait 22 years to see my son," Harper said. "I would love to go to visit him or write him a letter, have him write me back, but I don't have any of those choices; they do."
"I really feel like justice was served," Harper said. "Those boys will remember Octavius Desean Lanier's name for the rest of their life. There's no doubt now."
