Quantel Lotts was only 14 when he fatally stabbed his stepbrother while playing with blow darts. Lotts was convicted for his stepbrother’s death. In 2002, Lotts received a life sentence without possibility for parole.

Lotts’ stepbrother was Michael Barton, who was 17 at the time of the fatal stabbing. Quantel Lotts had grabbed a knife during their play and stabbed Barton twice. Barton did not make it to the hospital. Barton passed away soon after getting the knife wounds.

Quantel Lotts, of Missouri, is now 23 years old. Equal Justice, a group, believes Quantel Lotts should be given a second chance. Equal Justice is campaigning to get Lotts’ sentence changed.

Lott’s stepmother, who is Barton’s mother, said she has forgiven Lotts for killing her son.
