A 17-year-old accused of stabbing three teens – killing one – in a fight after the Ravens Super Bowl parade in 2013 has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and – as part of a deal with city prosecutors – was sentenced to time served.
Nazr Williams had taken the case to a jury trial in January, which resulted in a hung jury and mistrial. Eleven jurors jurors had wanted to acquit while one believed he should be found guilty.
Williams, wearing his Eager Street Academy polo shirt, khakis and glasses, was sentenced as an adult to 30 years in prison, with all but time served suspended. He has been in jail for one year, seven months and 18 days and will likely be released today.
Prosecutors said Williams stabbed three people in a melee on Howard Street in downtown, as the victims left the Ravens victory celebration on Feb. 5, 2013. Deontae Smith, 15, died after suffering four stab wounds.

And after being released he'll end up in a classroom somewhere where he will be a danger to many more kids.
so negative so Eastern Shore
That's why it's Charm City!
Where else can you stab 3, killing one, and be back on the street before turning 18?
Must be the thugs idiot mother.
It was a fight. Crazy stuff happens in a fight. I will bet most of you have never been in a fight.
So where's the "Justice For Deontae" protests and rioting?
Didn't his life "matter"?
Exactly what I was thinking!
