Richmond judge this morning sentenced a 20-year-old woman to life in prison, plus 13 years, for the killing of Virginia Commonwealth University student Tyler J. Binsted.
Richmond Circuit Judge Beverly W. Snukals sentenced Zsabriela Evelyn Williams of Richmond, one of three defendants in the robbery and shooting of Binsted, 19.
I know Zsabriela, better known as Ja-Ja… good people do bad things! I love Ja-Ja to death and she is a GREAT friend of mine!
Lisa, with all due respect – I don’t think “bad” quite covers your friend’s actions.
It does take strength to be a true friend to someone in this situation and this young lady is going to need her friends in the coming years. I am not without compassion for the whole left in the lives of the perpetrator and their family, however, my thoughts are mostly with the victim’s family and friends as they put together even a semblance of a life in the wake of this tragic loss of life.
