Prosecutors labeled the act as racially motivated, detailing how the accused picked up a stone, threatened the Black teen, and dragged him underwater multiple times.
As the racial tension escalated, the incident was punctuated by the third teen's chilling comment, likening the victim to George Floyd, adding a disturbing layer to the attack.
Despite being charged with attempted murder, the defense attorney expressed disbelief, stating, 'I don't see that there was any intent to murder the young man.'
The outcome hinges on sentencing, with Sheeran facing the possibility of being treated as either a juvenile or an adult following his guilty plea.
