An Atlantic City woman accused of conspiring with a teen to try to murder a woman has refused a plea deal and is expected to go to trial in January.
Camper was arrested Sept. 11, 2019, in Philadelphia.
Video surveillance allegedly shows the teen shooter get out of the car Camper is accused of driving and running up to the victim who was walking on Tennessee Avenue and then run back into the car.
This, according to the victim, is when she saw the boy run up to an unknown male pedestrian and yell,
"That's not her," then run back into the car.
The car then swerved toward the victim, who said the boy yelled her name.
The video shows a muzzle flash come from the rear driver's side.
The state offered Camper a 14-year sentence in exchange for her plea, which she officially rejected Monday. She would have to serve about 10 years before she is eligible for parole.
Defense attorney Yvonne Maher told the judge she explained to her client that she could face a maximum of 106 years with a minimum of 75 years in prison if convicted on all charges and they were to be sentenced consecutively.
While that term is unlikely, Camper told the judge she understood she could face significantly more time if convicted by a jury.
A motion in the case is set for Dec. 1, with a trial date set for Jan. 25.
The teen pleaded guilty, Maher said.
She also asked that her client be released on home detention, since Camper is "in pain constantly" from a shoulder injury that had her in a sling in court.
Assistant Prosecutor Lloyd Henderson pointed out that would require reopening the detention hearing, and would make Camper's third try at release.
Superior Court Judge John Rauh said there was no change in circumstance that would warrant a new hearing.
Camper will remain in the Atlantic County Justice Facility, where she has been for more than 13 months.
