All three also were ordered to have no contact with the victims and to undergo alcohol and drug evaluation, Stanton said.

Five teens now have been sentenced in the case. On Thursday, Marnie Gaule, 18, was found guilty of two counts of battery for her role in the May 4 melee. In July, Grant Lustig, 18, pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of an alcoholic beverage by a minor.

More than a dozen youths were charged in the incident, which gained worldwide attention as videotapes of it were played on news programs. The tapes show junior girls from Glenbrook North High School being covered with mud, paint, feces and garbage as onlookers, some hoisting beer cups, cheered.
