The teens involved

The five teenagers involved in Jerry Heimann's murder:

Jeffrey Grote, 19: Grote admitted hitting Heimann repeatedly with an aluminum bat. He was 17 at the time. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in exchange for a recommended 50-year sentence. He is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.

Heather Opel, 15: Barbara Opel's oldest daughter was 13 when she allegedly stabbed Heimann and hit him with the same bat Grote used. She was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to 22 years in prison after a stipulated trial, which preserved her right to appeal issues other than her conviction.

Marriam Oliver, 16: Oliver, then 14, was Heather Opel's best friend. Police said she stabbed Heimann and struck the final blow to his head with the bat. Barbara Opel promised her skating money for her participation. She was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to 22 years in prison after a stipulated trial.

Kyle Boston, 16: Boston, a friend of Grote's, admitted hitting Heimann in the face and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. His cousin, the fifth teen, said he and Boston, then 14, fled the house while Heimann was still alive and that Boston had received about $220 for his involvement. Boston was sentenced Wednesday to 18 years in prison.

Boston's cousin, 15: The Seattle Times is not identifying Boston's cousin because he was treated as a juvenile in the case. He turned 13 just before the killing and told police that he had struck Heimann once with a miniature bat. He said he had received about $100 for his participation and used the money to buy a sweatsuit. A judge found him guilty of first- and second-degree murder and sentenced him to confinement until age 21, leaving open the possibility that the boy could spend the final year of his sentence in a transitional program.
