Sofia Koval , the 14-year-old girl charged in the fatal beating of her grandmother back in May, was sentenced to a maximum-risk program not to exceed 36 months, a Broward County judicial assistant confirmed Wednesday.
Court records obtained by Local 10 News on Wednesday show the sentence is effective immediately.
The teenager had been charged as an adult with manslaughter and was transferred to the North Broward Bureau on Oct. 2.
During a court appearance that same day, a judge found probable cause for the charge and ordered Sofia to be held without bond, with both the defense and prosecution in agreement.
According to Broward Sheriff's Office deputies, the fatal beating happened on May 23 inside a condo along the 4100 block of Northwest 41st Street in Lauderdale Lakes.
