A juvenile who accidentally shot and killed another juvenile in November of last year changed his answer Tuesday before Cascade County District Judge John Kutzman.
Conner J. Svingen, 14, answered true to the charge of negligent homicide for the Nov. 12, 2020, shooting of Antonio Thierry, also 14.
The change of answer was based on a plea agreement that called for Svingen’s attorney and the Cascade County Attorney’s Office to recommend that Svingen be placed on probation with Montana Youth Court Services until he is 21 or until released by court order.
The maximum sentence allowed would be a commitment to Pine Hills Youth Correctional Facility until age 21 or release by the court.
