Carro withdrew a previous offer of youthful-offender status, which would have granted Reyes a more lenient sentence and no criminal record.
“After the defendant was arrested and indicted for two additional charges along with an arrest for a misdemeanor, that no longer is available,” the judge said.
Ariel’s mother, Sofia Russo, was grateful the judge took youthful-offender status off the table but was stunned by Lilia’s outburst.

Reyes was fleeing a routine traffic stop when he fatally struck little Ariel and seriously injured her grandmother.
He didn’t have a license and had taken his father’s car on a joyride, authorities said.
He was rearrested in July while out on bail on the manslaughter rap, for allegedly looting a dead woman’s apartment in a Chelsea building where his father was the superintendent. The dad, too, was charged in the theft.
Reyes was busted again — while still out on bail — on Aug. 31 for allegedly driving without a license after cops stopped him for an illegal turn.
Reyes stepped on the gas, dragging an officer 100 feet, according to the complaint.
A week later, Reyes bolted from DA-investigator escorts as they left a hospital where he had treatment for an injured leg.
