WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — One of four teens facing charges for a 2019 baseball bat beating has been sentenced.
On Friday, Benjamin Dickerson was initially given a sentence of 6 years imprisonment, which was then stayed for 5 years of probation. That was on the condition that Dickerson serves a total of 8 months in the Marathon County Jail, while another 4 months were imposed and stayed for rule violations, according to online court records.
Other conditions of his sentence include a formal apology to the victim, the requirement to earn his high school diploma, and the completion of 200 hours of community service.
Dickerson was one of four who attacked a 15-year-old Wausau boy in July of 2019, leaving the boy in critical condition at the time.
