2nd teen gets 90 years in brutal party attack
Texas youth sentenced for sodomizing Hispanic boy with patio umbrella
3:13 p.m. ET Dec. 11, 2006
HOUSTON - {AP}A 17-year-old suburban teen was sentenced Monday to 90
years in prison in the brutal attack of a Hispanic boy who was beaten,
kicked, stomped, burned and sodomized with the plastic pole of a patio
umbrella.
Keith Turner was the second teen convicted of aggravated sexual assault
in the April attack at a house in Spring, north of Houston. David Henry
Tuck, 18, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison on Nov. 16.
Turner was convicted late Friday after about 90 minutes of
deliberations. The jury took about five hours over two days to reach the
sentence of 90 years.
Turner will have to serve at least 30 years before becoming eligible for
parole.
Although Turner was the younger of the assailants and didn't have the
history of racial attacks that colored Tuck's past, it was his idea to
use the patio umbrella pole in the attack.
Turner, Tuck, the victim and two other teens were partying at a house in
Spring, drinking and taking cocaine and Xanax. Twelve-year-old Danielle
Sons, who was at the party at her house, told the other boys that the
victim had tried to kiss her, prompting the attack.
Tuck shouted racial slurs and "white power" as he and Turner kicked the
then 17-year-old, cut him with a knife, sodomized him with a plastic
pipe and poured bleach on him in an assault that lasted up to five
hours. The victim was left bleeding in the backyard until dawn, when
Sons and her brother, Gus, finally woke their mother, who slept through
it.
During Turner's trial, jurors saw a videotaped statement by Turner in
which he admitted to being the first one to grab the umbrella pole and
joking about using it to sodomize the victim.
