Overview
- The 16-year-olds changed their pleas to guilty on Oct. 29 to felony assault with a hate-crime special allegation, prosecutors said.
- Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 13 and Nov. 19, and both are expected to stay at the Ventura County Juvenile Facilities in Oxnard until then.
- Prosecutors said one of the two also admitted involvement in a separate criminal threats case tied to a May incident at the same shopping center.
- Three other juveniles still face charges, including a 17-year-old who pleaded not guilty and remains detained, while two others have November arraignments.
- The case stems from an Aug. 1 attack outside Regal Cinemas that left three victims, including 18-year-old Michael Robinson, with minor injuries as witnesses reported racial slurs.
