In 2016, Alexandra Schreffler was arrested in Florida at the age of 21 for her involvement in a robbery that led to the death of 18-year-old Kolton Shearer. In 2018, she was sentenced to 15 years in prison for armed robbery in connection to a fatal setup that resulted in Shearer’s death. The case unfolded when Schreffler admitted to luring Shearer to a house, where a group planned to rob him. What was supposed to be a simple drug rip-off turned deadly, leading to felony murder charges. Though she didn’t pull the trigger, her role in the setup resulted in a harsh sentence under felony murder laws.

Now, seven years later, at 28 years old, Schreffler is making a case for early release. She has started a Change.org petition, requesting a sentence modification. She argues that she has taken steps toward rehabilitation—earning her GED, completing over 20 rehabilitation programs, and participating in the Faith and Character program while incarcerated. She is asking for her sentence to be adjusted to 10 years served with 5 years on parole, rather than serving the full 15-year term.

Her petition raises broader questions about criminal justice reform and whether convicted felons—especially those who claim personal growth—should be granted a second chance. With time already served and a push for leniency, the ultimate decision now lies with the legal system and public support. Will she be granted an early release, or will she remain behind bars for the remainder of her sentence? | Posted by Thrillz
