Case 10-2
Sandra was recently released from a juvenile detention facility. She was serving time for theft, burglary, and assault. Sandra was in a well-known street gang. To celebrate her release from the juvenile facility and her 18th birthday, Sandra decided it would be fun to carjack a car with her gang member friends. She took a gun from her older brother. On the evening of the carjacking, Sandra and a fellow gang member approached a car that was being driven by an elderly woman. Sandra pointed the gun at the woman through the driver's side window and screamed for her to get out of the car. When the victim opened her door, Sandra pulled her out of the car and pushed her on the ground. Sandra jumped into the driver's seat of the vehicle while Sandra's friend jumped into the passenger side of the car. They drove around for a couple of hours before crashing the car into a tree and fleeing the scene.
Sandra's fingerprints were found on the vehicle and the victim identified Sandra as the offender from a photo lineup. Sandra was brought into custody and charged with an armed carjacking. Because of previous violent felony convictions, Sandra is looking at being charged under habitual offender laws. She can potentially get a 25-year prison sentence.
-Because Sandra is young and this is her first felony conviction as an adult, the judge is reluctant to sentence her to prison because he thinks it would be too harsh and counterproductive. However, he thinks that she requires stricter supervision than supplied by probation. What would be a likely sentence for Sandra in this situation?
