A former Heritage High School student was sentenced Friday to 10 years behind bars in a shooting that wounded two students at the school last fall.

Circuit Court Judge Christopher Papile sentenced Jacari Taylor — who was 15 at the time of the September shooting and is now 16 — to a blended sentence that will include juvenile detention and state prison time.

Prosecutors said Taylor and a 17-year-old student were arguing in the school cafeteria

One bullet entered behind the 17-year-old’s left ear, lodging in his lower left jaw, with the teen also struck in the leg and finger. Another round hit a 17-year-old girl in the leg as she ran. (Both students have since recovered).

Taylor faced up to 65 years Friday after pleading guilty in April to two counts of malicious wounding and four gun counts.

Deputy Newport News Commonwealth’s Attorney Travis White asked for a sentence of 10 years and seven months, or the midpoint of state sentencing guidelines.

Papile also noted that at the time of the Heritage shooting, Taylor had another malicious wounding case already pending against him. “It wasn’t the first time he had taken out a gun and shot somebody,” the judge said.

In the July 2020 incident, when Taylor was 14, he was charged with shooting a teen, and pleaded guilty to that charge in March 2021. In September of 2021 — only a couple of weeks before the Heritage shooting — a juvenile court judge ordered him to wear an electronic ankle monitor in that case.

“This is his second shooting.”

Ongoing dispute. Related to his brother.

So it looks like someone who was under the supervision of the criminal justice system went out and shot some folks. I guess that means we need to take even more gun rights away from uninvolved law-abiding people living both close to him and also far away, all across the land. Because the problem clearly isn’t with the criminal in question or with the criminal justice system, it’s that Joe America can buy guns and can carry them around for his own protection.

Let me guess... He’s an aspiring rapper who’s trying to turn his like around now? Right?

Ghetto scum are total garbage and nothing but trouble can ever come from them.

Exactly. Those with criminal dispositions are used as the ready made excuses to take arms from those who don’t have criminal dispositions.

Apparently he has anger issues. Ankle monitors don’t fix that

Overkill. Just make him wear TWO ankle monitors. That’ll teach him.

no mother in America should be afraid that her son will be incarcerated merely because he shoots people

Well perhaps if it were tethered to a 40 amp line activated by the sound of gunfire.

Lobotomy... or a short drop and quick stop.

Otherwise, it’s very likely some innocent person will be killed because of this scum.
