Teen gets 25 years in slaying of girlfriend

A 19-year-old East Baltimore man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for executing his 14-year-old girlfriend, whom he had known for only a few weeks, by shooting her in her right temple at close range.

During the emotional hearing, in which Charles Jakes pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and a gun charge, the victim’s mother pounded her fists on a bench and screamed at the defendant: “Nothing you say will bring my child back. … Read the Bible. You reap what you sow.”
