"He was 14 when he committed these crimes," prosecutor Matthew Bogdanos said. "If he pleads guilty, he will save the Majors family the trauma of a trial and that counts for something."
Majors, an 18-year-old originally from Virginia, was fatally stabbed when Weaver and two other teens tried to mug her in Morningside Park in December 2019.
Luchiano Lews pleaded guilty and was sentenced in September to nine years to life in prison. A 14-year-old teen also pleaded guilty.
Weaver will face 14 years to life in prison when he is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 19.
