Two Erie teens, Derrick L. Hemphill Jr. and Nyjuan L. Manning, were sentenced to 4-14 years for armed robbery of two men who had been playing dice near East Eighth and Reed streets in Erie. The pair robbed the two men of $800, and Manning’s gun malfunctioned when Hemphill told him to shoot one of the victims. Both teens pleaded guilty to robbery charges, with the prosecution describing Hemphill as “the brain” and Manning as “the muscle" and the defense disputing that Hemphill led a street gang.
