A 15-year-old charged in a Gentilly carjacking last November that killed local pastor Jeannot Plessy pleaded guilty Wednesday (May 29) to obstruction of justice and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in juvenile court. A manslaughter charge was dismissed.
The teen was sentenced to two years in juvenile prison, and Juvenile Judge Candice Bates-Anderson suspended all but six months of that sentence. He must serve those six months in the custody of the Office of Juvenile Justice, according to District Attorney Leon Cannizzaros office.
Additionally, the judge ordered that the juvenile be on supervised parole for 18 months, perform 50 hours of community service and obtain a high school diploma. Plessys family approved of the plea deal, Cannizzaros office said.
Plessy, 49, was killed when she was pulled from her car and thrown to the ground in a Nov. 27, 2018, carjacking in the 2400 block of Prentiss Avenue. Police said her son-in-law tried to stop the carjacking, but the suspect put the car in reverse and ran over both of them.
Plessy died at the hospital. Her son-in-law survived his injuries.
Jontrell Robinson, 17, and Edwin Cottrell, 19, also are charged in the fatal carjacking. They are awaiting trial in Criminal District Court on second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and other charges. Court records show their next hearing is scheduled for July.

Wow I know forgiveness is a Christian tenet, but...it wasn't like he broke the window on her car or pulled some stupid stunt like putting flaming dog crap in front of her door and accidentally setting the house on fire.
It was a serious felony crime with intent. Gotta say, don't know if I could "approve" that plea deal.
What the F is wrong with this country? Where did it go wrong?
The day he is released from Jail should be the last day he takes a breath.
Teen...juvenile...carjacker...
Let me guess the race here? Ummmmmmmm....
We can make several assumptions about this incident. The Judge and the perps will not be accurately described by the media. This young thug has learned a valuable lesson. The justice system will give him a pass, a slap on the wrist for a vicious crime. He will have future victims and the family of this victim is complicit.
Too much to hope that he’s killed inside?
Well, either way works for me.
This Country is sinking into the Abyss. I’m afraid it’s too late to save it.
I got on Twitter today on the Link with Sarah Sanders statement about Mulehead’s Investigation ending. What a frigging sewer.
I made a few comments to the Morons Posting there and then I had to take a shower.
Mah baby diddindu nuffin cept jack a wheep n kill da owna.
Sadly, that's not the case in this country any more. You're a racist if you put a minority in jail even when they admit to the crime. Insanity...
Two of the three perps: Jontrell Robinson and Edwin Contrell
One of a million reasons to be packing heat.
With her husband.
I winced a bit at the location given; I used to pass that spot going to and from high school in the '70s. Back then, Prentiss Avenue was still in the safe zone, though things got dicey a bit to the south along the U.S. 90 corridor.
He carjacked her and murdered her.
6 mo for a dindu nuffin yute.
My God you all better carry and shoot your attackers, you wont have government there saving you,,or giving out proper justice if you are murdered.
#1. Enough reasons to execute the bastard. Or at least 20-life for carjacking AND manslaughter. New Orleans, the whorehouse and crime capital of Louisiana.
