NASSAU-Two women who went to trial after rejecting plea deals have been found guilty of the murder of teen mom Breanna Mackey.
Prosecutors said that Zaria Burrows cut Mackey off with her car as she walked along Key West Street on January 25, 2018.
Burrows remained in the vehicle while five others, including Dervinique Edwards, ganged Mackey in a petty row over a broken phone.
Mackey’s sister watched in horror as she was stabbed, kicked, stomped and pelted with rocks and bottles.
Both women didn’t take the stand—but their lawyers suggested that were only in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But the prosecutor argued that Burrows and Mackey shared a common purpose to kill as they did nothing to stop the attack or report the matter to police.
The women return to court for sentencing on March 31.
Four other defendants took plea deals in the case.
Thea Williams, 22, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 25 years for stabbing Mackey. Matia Sylverain, 18, who stomped Mackey, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years. Davonya Lawes, 19, and Jolika Dumosle, 18, who admitted throwing rocks and bottles at Mackey have already served their two years sentences for causing harm.
