Teen Convicted Of Attempted Murder
October 30, 2015
An Escambia County teen is facing up to 40 years in prison under Florida’s 10-20-Life law.
Marquis Weathers was convicted by Escambia County Jury of two counts of attempted second degree murder with a firearm and two counts of aggravated battery.
The conviction stemmed from a shooting that occurred when Weathers was just 16. On October 27, 2014, off Rio Grande Circle, two individuals suffered gunshot wounds while sitting in their car. Both victims survived their injuries. Weathers and the co-defendant Jamaal Ervin Williams, 18 were arrested two days later.
Circuit Judge Gary Bergosh scheduled sentencing for December 8. Weathers is facing a minimum of 40 years in state prison as a minimum mandatory. Williams is facing trial next week.

REGARDING:
“he chose to be a thug wannabe gangster!! Unfortunately he will be around the REAL DEAL for MANY years!”
When you try to murder other people, you graduate from wannabe, to real deal.
Maybe he will enjoy the male companionship.
AND
” My heart is truly saddened for the victims & the family of this boy! NO BODY WINS!!!”
Lots of people win if he is no longer able to just up and decide he wants to blow them away. it’s more expensive than brain modification, but cheaper than losing loved ones to his urges.
David for successful parenting, saved lives
In this world today the kids lose their innocence quick with all of the bad influences…shattered lives and lives ruined…
I pray for his mother, it’s a shame that he would hurt his family like this because he chose to be a thug wannabe gangster!! Unfortunately he will be around the REAL DEAL for MANY years! My heart is truly saddened for the victims & the family of this boy! NO BODY WINS!!!
