CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A teenager who shot a pregnant woman in the stomach killing her unborn child will stay behind bars for the rest of his life.

Kelly Chapman, was arrested back in November 2008 after he shot Nastasha Folden in the stomach.

She was five months pregnant at the time. Folden survived, but her unborn baby did not.

Chapman who was just 16 years-old at the time of the crime was charged with murder and sentenced to life without mercy in July 2009.

Judge Duke Bloom said he would re-visit the sentence when he turned 18.

Well that happened Friday and Judge Bloom ruled that Chapman's sentence will stand.

Chapman will be transferred from a youth detention center to the Mount Olive Correctional Complex.

A judge sentenced Kelly Chapman, 16 of Charleston, Wednesday to life in prison without mercy. Typically, "without mercy" means no chance of parole. However, by law, since Chapman is a juvenile the judge has to reconsider his sentencing when he turns 18.

Back in May, Chapman pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder.

He was just 15-years-old when he shot Nastasha Folden in the stomach back last year. Folden was five months pregnant and lost her baby.

Police say Folden was arguing with Chapman when he threatened to get a gun and shoot her.

Kanawha County Prosecutor Mark Plants believes this is the first time the West Virginia's Unborn Crime Victim's Act has been used. The law treats a pregnant woman and her unborn baby as separate victims.

The judge also sentenced Chapman to 15 years consecutively on the attempted murder charge.
