A 15-year-old kid named Edgar Jiménez Lugo, also known as "El
Ponchis," was sentenced to three years in jail yesterday by a
Mexican court for beheading four people on behalf of a drug
cartel, as well as drug trafficking and kidnapping. A U.S.
citizen born in San Diego, Lugo gained notoriety last year after
he confessed on video (above) to killing cartel rivals and
random people for money and drugs, which he started doing at age
11. Lugo's sentence was the maximum available given his age.
