The couple are the last of 15 people charged in the disruption of the eight-year-old's birthday.
Only four were charged with felonies but the other two pleaded guilty and are serving shorter prison terms.

Torres was sentenced on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of terroristic threats and one count of violating the street gang act.
Norton was sentenced on one count of violating Georgia's street gang act and one count of making terroristic threats.

The couple cried in court when the sentencing was announced in Douglas County, west of Atlanta.
