From WTOP, where you can read more on the story:

A 16-year-old known as “Baby K” has taken a plea deal in the case tied to the attempted killing of a student on a Prince George’s County, Maryland, school bus in May 2023.

Under the terms of the deal, “Baby K,” whose real name is Kaeden Holland, pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder and weapons charges. The deal calls for a 60-year sentence, with all but 25 years suspended. That means if the judge accepts the deal during sentencing, Holland would spend 25 years behind bars.

While Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy acknowledged that’s a lengthy prison time given Holland was 15 at the time of the crime, she said it’s justified in this case.

“The result of what could have been, had that gun fired, would have been permanent. So we believe that this is an appropriate request from the state,” Braveboy said.

The deal also calls for Holland to serve his time at the Patuxtent Institution, a maximum-security, adult prison that offers therapy and counseling programs.

“The programs at that institution, we believe, will provide Mr. Holland with the best opportunity for rehabilitation and to be able, at some point in the future, to reenter our community safely,” Braveboy said.

Holland will be sentenced May 17.

Attempted first-degree murder carries a maximum penalty of life in prison in Prince George’s County, while Holland faced an additional 20 years for the weapons charge.
