Delhi teen remains locked up for shooting death
The Cincinnati Enquirer
A Delhi Township teen-ager who fatally shot his friend will not get out of jail early.
Jason Syme, 16, had asked Judge Thomas Lipps of Hamilton County Juvenile Court to release him nearly one year before he would be eligible under his sentence for involuntary manslaughter.
Mr. Syme has spent 21/2 years at the Ohio Department of Youth Services for fatally shooting 14-year-old Jeffrey Schulte in July 1996.
The shooting occurred in the bedroom of another Delhi teen while they were playing “cops and robbers.”
Judge Lipps noted the minimum sentence for Mr. Syme was 31/2 years. He could be incarcerated until he is 21.
“Though the defendant may not have intended to harm the victim, his acts, nonetheless, resulted in the death of another,” the judge wrote in his ruling.
Mr. Syme's attorney asked for his release so he could be with his terminally ill grandmother.
