A 14-year-old girl has been ordered to spend 25 years in state custody after a Texas jury found her delinquent in the fatal stabbing of her best friend. The sentencing came Friday, one day after a Tarrant County jury returned its verdict in Fort Worth in the May 29 killing of 14-year-old Nylah Lightfoot. She could have been assessed anything from probation to 40 years in state custody. A judge will determine whether to move the girl to an adult prison at age 19. Prosecutors say the girl stabbed Nylah in the neck and chest after a fight at an apartment complex in Fort Worth.
