Shelia Eddy, 17, pleaded "not guilty" at her arraignment in adult court today.
Eddy, Shoaf and Skylar Neese
Rachel Shoaf's sentencing for her part in Skylar's murder is still pending. She's expected to receive between 20 - 40 years. Since prosecutors are recommending 20, Shoaf could well be out of prison by the time she's around 35.
I think Eddy's delusional. Given the crime was premeditated and prosecutors have Shoaf's confirmed confession as to the murder plot that she and Eddy carried out (Shoaf will likely be called to testify against Eddy), Eddy's chances of getting off scot-free are slim to none, IMO.
If she's indeed found guilty at trial, Eddy will probably be sentenced much more harshly than Shoaf (who admitted her crime, expressed remorse, and pleaded guilty). Hoping prosecutors recommend a life sentence for Eddy and Shoaf gets closer to 40 years than 20 years behind bars.
No trial date is yet set for Eddy.
