A Black Teen Died Over a $12 Shoplifting Attempt. 13 Years Later, Two Men Plead Guilty in His Killing.
AI Summary
In Milwaukee, two men, Robert Beringer and Jesse Cole, pleaded guilty to felony murder in connection to the 2012 death of Corey Stingley, a Black teenager. Stingley died after being restrained by the men for attempting to shoplift $12 worth of alcohol from a convenience store. The plea agreement, reached after a 13-year pursuit of justice by Stingley's father and a restorative justice process, allows Beringer and Cole to avoid jail time if they comply with the terms, including a charitable donation and remaining law-abiding. District Attorney Ismael Ozanne recommended the agreement, citing its potential for healing. Judge Laura Crivello approved the agreement, deeming it fair and just. The case gained renewed attention after a 2023 ProPublica report examined the incident and subsequent legal battles.
