   A grieving Long Island mom is fuming over the “sweet plea deal” granted   
   to the teenager who gunned down her defenseless son in a cold-blooded   
   gang initiation.   
      
   Erica Rimmer claimed a reluctant Ramon Lyons, now 16, had been “coaxed”   
   by Suffolk County Supreme Court Judge Karen Kerr into taking the 12-year   
   plea deal for the 2021 murder of her son, 21-year-old Luis Cameron   
   Rimmer-Hernandez.   
      
   “The judge ended up breaking everything down in baby terms to him and   
   basically coaxed him into taking the plea deal, telling him this is not   
   going to get better for you if you go to trial,” Rimmer told The Post in   
   a recent interview.   
      
   “I knew our system was flawed … But to experience it myself, it makes me   
   feel like my son’s life didn’t matter,” she said.   
      
   “That’s basically what Judge Kerr is telling me — that my son’s life   
   didn’t matter and this cold-blooded murderer’s life matters.”   
      
   Lyons was just 14 years old when prosecutors said he walked up to   
   Rimmer-Hernadez on Aug. 9, 2021, in Huntington Station and fired off at   
   least a half-dozen shots, leaving the victim mortally wounded on the   
   pavement.   
      
   Rimmer said her son had just gotten to a friend’s home with some food   
   when his killer came up along the side of the house and opened fire   
   without notice.   
      
   The teen was arrested nearby for the execution-style slaying and charged   
   with second-degree murder as a juvenile — meaning that he faced up to 15   
   years behind bars, rather than the maximum of 25 years to life for an   
   adult defendant.   
      
   Disheartened, Rimmer, a school paraprofessional, prayed the teen killer   
   would at least get the max — and said the judge “should’ve taken the   
   deal off the table.”   
      
   “Imagine how that is for me,” she said. “She gave him chance after   
   chance when he didn’t deserve that. I still wonder why she gave it to   
   him.”   
      
   Lyons pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on Oct. 18 and is expected   
   to be sentenced to the 12 years by Kerr at a hearing on Nov. 13.   
      
   “It’s like a slap in the face to get this far,” Rimmer said. “It’s been   
   two years and three months. To wait all this time just to see this   
   murderer get a sweet plea deal. He’ll be 26 and eligible for parole.”   
      
   The mom said she was “never asked” about the plea deal by prosecutors or   
   the court, “But they knew where I stood.”   
      
   Al Baker, a spokesman for the New York State Office of Court   
   Administration, defended Kerr’s decision to sign off on the plea deal,   
   saying several factors were considered.   
      
   “This defendant was a 14-year-old juvenile offender when he committed   
   the crime,” Baker said in a statement.   
      
   “The agreed-upon plea agreement, by both parties, of 12 years to life   
   versus a maximum, by law, of 15 years to life, is a serious and   
   significant sentence,” he said. “In taking into account all the facts   
   and circumstances of the case, Judge Kerr’s determination was that this   
   best served the interest of justice.”   
      
   Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney blamed the state’s   
   “Raise the Age” law, which upped the age for young violent felons to be   
   sentenced as adults to 18 and made it more difficult to prosecute   
   younger defendants as adults.   
      
   “Unfortunately the unintended effect of New York’s 2018 ‘Raise the Age’   
   law is an increase in shootings and violent crimes committed by young   
   offenders, such as this defendant, who was only 14 years old when he   
   took the victim’s life,” Tierney said in a statement announcing the plea   
   earlier this month.   
      
   “Gangs are increasingly using younger members to carry weapons and   
   commit shootings because they know that these offenders will face lesser   
   consequences,” he said. “The murder of Cam was a direct consequence of   
   this misguided ‘Raise the Age’ law.”   
      
   Lyons’ lawyer, Matthew Tuohy, called the case a tragedy for all   
   involved.   
      
    But Rimmer said it was a bitter pill to swallow after losing her   
    first-born child to senseless violence.   
      
   “My son touched many lives in 21 years,” she said. “He was a good soul.   
   For his life to be taken the way it was, it’s just horrible.”   
      
   She added that her son’s murderer “shows no remorse.”   
      
   “That kills me. You know how much it hurt looking at that kid and his   
   eyes, and he just had a blank face, no expression? Didn’t put his head   
   down once. He didn’t care,” Rimmer said.   
      
   “I put my faith in the justice system and I didn’t get justice for my   
   son.”
