A New Orleans teen convicted of participating in a gruesome 2012 armed robbery and shooting spree that left a college student dead and a Garden District lawyer paralyzed and mute was sentenced to life plus 362 years in prison.
Criminal District Court Judge Laurie White imposed the sentence Wednesday (March 16), leaving 19-year-old Charles "Mob Chuck" Carter without hope of walking outside prison walls ever again.
Carter was 16 when authorities said he joined Byron "Wink" Johnson and Devante Billy in a bloody crime spree that stretched from eastern New Orleans to Uptown in October 2012. New Orleans police said the three were believed affiliated with the city's "Marley Gang."
The trio was implicated in stealing two vehicles, used as getaway cars as they stalked Uptown residents for armed robbery and burglary opportunities. One such incident, on Oct. 2, 2012, ended with the shooting of Jones Walker law firm attorney Sanford "Sandy" Kaynor in the driveway of his Lower Garden District home. Kaynor was left paralyzed and unable to speak after being shot twice and suffering a brain hemorrhage.
Just 17 days later, police said, Carter and Billy robbed UNO film student Valan May at gunpoint in the 7800 block of Burke Avenue in eastern New Orleans. According to trial testimony May had only $25 and a GPS device in his car. Carter handed his .38-caliber gun to Billy, who had climbed into the back seat of May's car, and ordered, "Just kill this n-----." A witness said Billy immediately shot May, 24, in the back of the head.
Carter was convicted in January.
Court records show White sentenced Carter to life in prison for the murder of May, but granted him parole eligibility after 35 years. That negated the need for a Miller hearing, required by a 2012 U.S.

Murdering trash. Enjoy Angola Prison.
He got off lucky.
I’m glad they didn’t pile it on him.
I would have been disenfranchised.
Valan May
Liberals want to talk about equality and the brotherhood of man.
Spare me...
I’m sure these boys didn’t do nuffin.
Trot out their mommas, have their mommas wail that they be good boys, were turning their lives around, it was all a misunderstanding, they be grappling with poverty, etc. etc.
Let’s hear it.
That means he’ll be out in what? 6 months?
I don’t understand
where is the slant by journalism professionals how BLMers kill unarmed white men?
I’d rather see each of the murderous monsters hanging from the end of a rope.
May, a 24-year-old U.S. Navy veteran and sophomore film student at the University of New Orleans, died after being shot four times as he sat in his car in eastern New Orleans on Oct. 19, 2012.
So they shot a decent black MAN.The ghetto scum hate a young black man(or woman)who’s making a success of themselves.
You are sooooo right.
How ess dey gunna get monea fo skoo?

Didn’t know that Obama had four sons. Did anyone tell Michele about this?
They all should be executed ASAP but the Democrats have so corrupted the law in Louisiana it would take a decade just to clean it up.

That’s a lot of X’s on the wall
