The teens were charged with Attempted Murder, Assault, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, Terroristic Threats, and Conspiracy. They pleaded guilty to all charges except the Attempted Murder charge. A judge immediately sentenced the pair to four years in a juvenile detention center.
The pair was charged with attacking 64-year-old Edward Schaefer on North 5th Street in Olney last month. Investigators believe robbery was the motive.
Schaefer, who was recently released from the hospital, suffered a broken jaw and fractured eye sockets during the unprovoked beating.
Schaefer served in Vietnam until losing his eye in combat and had recently retired from a job working with fellow veterans.
