Eight girls have been charged with second-degree murder in the 2022 death of Kenneth Lee.
Kenneth Lee told a group of teenage girls to leave his friend alone.
Moments later, the attack began — punches, kicks, spitting and objects hurled at him. The 59-year-old wound up “crumpled” on the ground after being swarmed by the girls.
That’s what the court heard from an agreed statement of facts on Tuesday after the second girl charged with second-degree murder pleaded guilty, this time to assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon — identified as a green bag belonging to Lee.
The girl, who is 15, but was 13 at the time of the crime, will be sentenced this fall.
The first resolution in the case came last week when the first of the eight girls charged with second-degree murder pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. Three other girls are scheduled to enter pleas later this month. The remaining three are headed to a jury trial at Superior Court that has not yet been scheduled.
