Three of the four teens charged in the 2022 carjacking death of 73-year-old Linda Frickey of Westwego have reached a plea deal that’s resulted in them receiving a 20-year prison sentence. Legal analyst Dane Ciolino says this is a good result for everyone…
“And the family seems pleased with the results. Three of the four individuals – the three least couplable have pled guilty to attempted manslaughter and will spend 20 years in jail.”
In March 2022, Frickey was parked along the side of a road in the New Orleans’ mid-city. Surveillance video shows a person pulling her out of the vehicle and beating her. Authorities say as the car sped away, Frickey was dragged and her arm severed in the brutal death.
Because of the nature of Frickey’s death, the teens were charged as adults. Ciolino says Briniyah Baker, Lenrya Theopile and Mar’qel Curtis took the plea deal.
“This is good. At least get some cooperating co-defendants to plead guilty to get some finality on three-quarters of these individuals.”
18-year-old John Honore is still set for trial as jury selection is underway in the case. Ciolino says while Honore’s three co-defendants plead guilty to manslaughter charges, Honore could be convicted of a murder…
“The evidence against him is overwhelming. It’s going to be a very difficult case for the defense. Particularly now that these three individuals no doubt will cooperate and testify against their friend.”
