NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Four teens charged with murder in the
dragging death of an elderly New Orleans woman whose arm was
severed during a carjacking pleaded not guilty Wednesday.

Shackled and clad in red jumpsuits, the 17-year-old boy, 16-year-
old girl and two 15-year-old girls entered the pleas to a charge
of second-degree murder in the March 21 death of 73-year-old
Linda Frickey, news outlets reported.

Police Chief Shaun Ferguson had said Frickey died after she
became entangled in a seatbelt as carjackers sped away with her
vehicle that day. The mid-afternoon carjacking happened as
neighbors looked on helplessly as she was dragged a block in her
own car.

Ferguson said tips led to the arrests of the teens in the hours
after the Monday afternoon carjacking. Two were turned in by
their parents.

“This was one of the most violent carjackings we’ve ever seen;
these young people dragged Mrs. Frickey, severing her arm as
they all fled the scene in her car. Today’s grand jury decision
to indict these young people for Second Degree Murder is fair
and ensures they are appropriately held accountable,” Orleans
Parish District Attorney Jason Williams said in a statement.

The defendants' pleas come a week after Williams announced that
each would be charged as adults in Frickey's death.

“Four or five years is just not enough,” Williams said. “The
juvenile sentencing limits would be inadequate to ensure that
these young people are appropriately held accountable for taking
a life.”

“Definitely glad to be in criminal court. Glad we are going into
an adult court because this is too heinous,” Frickey’s sister,
Jinny Lynn-Griffin told reporters outside of the courthouse.

Bond for each of the accused will remain at $1 million while
they await trial. If convicted, all four would face mandatory
life sentences in prison with the possibility for parole after
25 years.
