VERY VERY seldom will you ever see the indictment of a juvenile for a capital crime.

Even though this kid will be tried as an adult (i assume)... the DA will probably have a FAR easier time getting a conviction for a 1st degree felony vs. a Capital felony on a 16 year old.

Putting the needle to someone that will undoubtedly be portrayed by the family and the press as a "mis-guided youth" would be a hard pill for the public to swallow. Never mind the fact that nowadays many underage gang members are hardcore murders and thieves by the time they are 16.

Just give 'em what they want and you won't get hurt. If you fight back it will make things worse


In other news, a few days ago a store near Beltway 8 south and I-45, run by a friend of the family, got robbed by two armed BGs. The friend of the family had just left the store when the BGs came in. The 2 clerks weren't fast enough opening the register (they were shaky under the threat of being shot) and both got beaten badly in the face.

Just read some hip hop lyrics and they explain exactly how all of this stuff is supposed to go down. It's pretty frightening.
