Paralyzed Girl Forgives Shooter in Court


By DENISE LAVOIE, AP

BOSTON (April 14) - Five-year-old Kai Leigh Harriott sat in the front
of the courtroom in her wheelchair and looked directly at the man
who had just pleaded guilty to firing the shot that paralyzed her


At first, she broke down, crying harder than she ever had since
the night nearly three years ago when Anthony Warren fired three
rounds at the house where she was sitting on a porch.

After a sip of water and some consoling from her mother, Kai
spoke.


"What you done to me was wrong," she said to the man seated
just 10 feet away. "But I still forgive him."



Warren, 29, of Boston, had been scheduled to go to trial on six
assault and weapons charges last month. He instead pleaded guilty
to all charges Thursday.


Prosecutors say Warren, his brother and others had an argument
with people who lived on the first floor of the three-family house
where Kai lived with her family. They left, then Warren returned
around 11 p.m. on July 1, 2003, and fired three rounds at the
house.


One of the bullets hit Kai - then 3 years old - as she sat on a
third-floor porch with an older sister. The bullet shattered her
spine, permanently paralyzing her from the chest down.


After his guilty plea, the girl, her mother and two sisters gave
emotional statements to Judge Margot Botsford, who then sentenced
Warren to 13 to 15 years in prison and five years' probation.
