The court found her guilty of false accusation charges and slanderous comments. The other adolescents were found guilty of participating in a pre-meditated criminal conspiracy and helping to prepare an ambush. The heaviest sentence was a 6-month prison sentence, which can be served at home under electronic surveillance. Another trial involving adults is set to take place next year.
