Louisiana ‘demon’ teen sentenced to life in prison for carjacking, dragging 73-year-old grandmother to death

The Lousiana “demon” teen who brutally robbed and dragged a 73-year-old grandmother, ripping off her arm and clothes when she became trapped in her seat belt and then died, learned his fate Friday.

John Honore, 18, was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the death of Linda Frickey in 2022 as the woman’s family celebrated that “justice was served” and hoped the teenager would not be released from prison.

“There is no remorse, he got what he deserved. He did it,” Frickey’s sister, Jinnylynn Griffin, told reporters outside the courthouse. “We don’t care about what happened before March 21, 2022, that is the day we are worried about.

“He’s a little prick, a little punk and he deserves to go where he’s going. He is a demon, and God saw that demon that day, and that’s how Linda’s arm was cut off.”

“Now we eliminate the demons. And the demons of the future, you better watch out because the district attorney’s office is no longer playing games.”

In March 2022, Frickey was loading her car outside a business in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans when four teenagers robbed her, WWL-TV reported at the time.

She was dragged nearly a block down the street before a utility pole severed her arm and her clothes were torn from her body, according to NOLA.com.

Honore called the carjacking “the biggest mistake of my life” in a handwritten apology addressed to Frickey’s family and obtained by WWL.

“I’m John and I’m so sorry and I apologize for having to go through what you’re going through,” Honore said. “No person’s family should have to go through that kind of pain. That day I made the biggest mistake of my life. I think about what you and your family may be going through every day.

“I have wanted to write you all a letter for a long time but I didn’t know what to say, and I still don’t know what to say. I just want you to sincerely know that I’m sorry, and I know words can change how you feel, but I want you to know that I realize how serious this is and I’m trying because I think I’m doing the right thing. .”

Frickey’s sister celebrated with her family after Honore’s sentencing and said she was grateful justice had been served.

“We got justice, we feel like we did justice for Linda,” Griffin added.

During a statement from the witness stand, Frickey’s sister-in-law acknowledged there might be a chance Honore would be released in 25 years, but she hoped he wouldn’t get out of prison.

“When you take your last breath, may all you hear are the dogs of hell coming for you, to drag you back to where you belong,” Kathy Richard said, according to the outlet.

“Personally, I hope you don’t get out of there. [prison]and may those hellhounds come for you quickly.”

Honore’s sentence was the last of four involved in Frickey’s death after the three girls who were with him during the carjacking reached a deal in November.
