A Gahanna teen will serve two years probation after pleading guilty to delinquency charges for convincing her boyfriend to kill her parents. 17-year-old Grace Dillman plotted with 21-year-old Robert Best to kill her parents because they disapproved of their romantic relationship. The parents survived the stabbing in June of last year at their Gahanna home. Best is serving an eight year prison sentence.
