Reduced sentence sought for Virginia inmate Travion Blount RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Virginia lawmakers and activists say they are demanding a reduced sentence for a teenager convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to more than six life terms. Democratic State Sen. David Marsden described the punishment of Travion Blount as among the most egregious he has ever seen, and will prepare a bill allowing judges to amend sentences for certain juvenile offenders after they have been imprisoned more than 20 years. Blount, now 23, was 15 in 2006 when he joined two others, each 18, in an armed robbery of a house party in Norfolk. Although there were 12 victims of the robbery, no shots were fired and no one was injured, the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot reported. The two co-defendants pleaded guilty and received 10- and 13-year punishments. Blount was convicted of 49 felonies in a trial and was sentenced to six life terms plus 118 years. Reform advocates note the case highlights Virginia's inflexible attitude toward juvenile crime and punishment, the report said. Data from the state's Department of Corrections notes least 22 inmates are incarcerated in Virginia without parole for non-homicide crimes committed as juveniles.
