A teenage girl has been given two life sentences and 25 more years in prison for her role in the murders of her mother and two young brothers in the family's home. Seventeen-year-old Erin Caffey could be eligible for parole when she's 59 under a plea agreement reached yesterday. That's according to defense attorney William McDowell. Caffey's trial was scheduled for next month in nearby Hopkins County. Prosecutors had said they didn't plan to seek the death penalty against her. Co-defendant Bobbi Gale Johnson was sentenced to 40 years in prison and may be eligible for parole in 20 years. Johnson was named in the affidavit as an accomplice who did not use a weapon. Police believe Caffey and Johnson waited in a car down the road from Caffey's home in Alba during the March attack. Authorities say Charlie James Wilkinson, Caffey's 19-year-old boyfriend, and 20-year-old Charles Allen Waid went on a shooting and stabbing rampage before setting fire to the home. The attack left 37-year-old Penny Caffey and her sons Mathew, 13, and Tyler, 8, dead. The father, 41-year-old Terry Caffey, was shot five times but got out of his burning house and reached his neighbors. Authorities say the murder plot was hatched because Erin Caffey's parents didn't want Wilkinson to date their daughter, who was 16 at the time of the crime. In November, Wilkinson and Waid avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty for their involvement in the killings. McDowell says both will most likely receive life sentences with parole.
