The court was told that the accused, a 17-year-old high school student at the time, had lured Shaina to a shed in the town of Creil north of Paris to kill her and burn her body.
Defence lawyer Elise Arfi said it was “too early” to comment on the possibility of an appeal.
Shaina’s murder was particularly shocking, not only because of her young age but also because two years earlier she had been the victim of sexual assault, for which four other young people were given suspended sentences ranging from six months to two years in prison. Described by her mother as “funny and smiling”, Shaina was probably in the early stages of pregnancy at the time of her murder, according to investigators.
