A state circuit court judge last week ordered Kassceen Weaver, a former basketball star at the University of Richmond, to serve a sentence of 20 years in a state correctional facility for the boy’s slaying, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

According to the state’s online court docket, Weaver was convicted by a jury on one count each of felony murder, felony child neglect, and concealing a dead body in connection with the slaying of young Eliel Adon Weaver.

Specifically, Weaver was sentenced to 20 years on the murder charge, 10 years on the child neglect charge, and five years on the concealment charge, with all running concurrent, meaning they will be served at the same time.

Eliel’s mother, Dina Weaver, was initially arrested and charged in connection to the boy’s death, but prosecutors later dropped those charges amid allegations that she too was the victim of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her husband.

Brutally beating a child to death should result in the max sentence with no parole. I am surprised by the leniency of this verdict.
