The unlicensed teen driver accused of striking and killing a 4-year-old while fleeing police sat nearly silent in court Wednesday when asked whether he would accept a plea deal in the crash before he was ultimately given another day to make his decision. 

Franklin Reyes, 18, had already been given 45 days to decide whether or not to accept the deal, which would send him to prison for 3 to 9 years and also cover guilty pleas for three additional charges he's facing, including dragging a police officer during a separate traffic stop. 

But Reyes went back and forth with no clear answer in court. The parents of Ariel Russo, the girl killed in the Upper West Side crash two years ago, said they would return the next day.

"If going to trial means more jail time for him, I have no problem being here every day," said Alan Russo, Ariel's father. "Three to nine? Nothing's ever going to be enough." 

The girl's mother said, "I thought we were going to know for sure today what was going to happen. We still don't know. Like my husband said, we'll keep coming every day if we have to until we get justice."

Police said Reyes was unlicensed when he took his father's car for a joy ride on the morning of June 4, 2013. When they tried to pull him over, Reyes took off, lost control and jumped the curb, slamming into Ariel and her grandmother. He was arrested and charged with manslaughter. 

Since the crash, the teen was arrested twice more, most recently in the September 2014 traffic stop, In July 2014, he was arrested on a petit larceny charge along with his father for allegedly burglarizing the apartment of a dead resident in Chelsea. 

Reyes' mother defended Wednesday and said she believes he is not guilty of the other charges. She said she doesn't know what he will decide to do. 

Reyes will either plead guilty to the crimes for which has committed and be sentenced 3 to 9 years, or plead not guilty and go to trial on each of the four cases separately, in which case the sentence would be significantly greater.
