NATHANIEL JOUETT’S SENTENCING HEARING IS UNDERWAY IN PORTALES. JOUETT IS THE TEEN WHO SHOT UP THE CLOVIS LIBRARY IN AUGUST OF 2017. THE SHOOTING LEFT TWO OF THE LIBRARIANS DEAD AND INJURED FOUR OTHERS, INCLUDING A 10 YEAR OLD BOY.
THE HEARING STARTED MONDAY AND IT WAS EMOTIONAL FOR SO MANY HAVING TO RELIVE THE SHOOTINGS. EVEN JOUETT BROKE DOWN AFTER WATCHING SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FROM THE SHOOTING PLAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE STATE WANTS JOUETT SENTENCED AS AN ADULT. THAT WOULD GIVE HIM 96 YEARS IN PRISON. BUT THE TEEN COULD JUST BE SENTENCED TO PROBATION. JOUETT ADMITS TO ACTING ALONE IN THE SHOOTINGS AT CLOVIS’ CARVER PUBLIC LIBRARY. THE HEARING SHOULD LAST THREE TO FIVE DAYS.
