Detroit — A 14-year-old boy who pleaded guilty last month to charges he fatally shot his mother in February while she slept on the couch of the family's east side home will face sentencing Friday.
Joshua Smith, who is charged as an adult, entered the plea to charges of second-degree murder and felony firearm before Wayne County Circuit Judge Bruce Morrow as his trial was set to start.
Smith, who had been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Tamiko Andrea Robinson, is expected to receive 25 to 50 years in prison under the agreement, and a mandatory two years for the firearm conviction, prosecutors said.
Robinson's fiance, Chiko Lewis, testified at Smith's preliminary examination in March that he was asleep in a back bedroom of the home in the 5700 block of Burns on Feb. 27 when he heard gunshots.
