He certainly couldn't be let free in general population. Even if he was convicted as an adult, he would have to be housed in a juvy facility I would imagine. He most definitely cannot be subjected to the death penalty (min age for anyone in the country is 18 at time of commission).<BR/><BR/>You're second paragraph really hits it. Whatever is wrong here is not the fault of an 8 year-old. And the adults around him really need to step up and take responsibility rather than trying to hold him responsible the way they would a 30 year-old.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, isn't it nice to find something we agree on?! :) I bet there's more out there that we just haven't hit on yet.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429147325673256508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-42246754072728683702008-11-11T10:00:00.000-08:002008-11-11T10:00:00.000-08:00So I have a question.

Or do they want to try him as an adult so it stays on his record forever?<BR/><BR/>This whole case makes me sad. What confession can an 8 year old give? People that are bigger than him are supposed to look out for him, and those cops were doing the opposite. Clearly something is very wrong here, and obviously someone has failed this little boy.BellsforStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032366148476863438noreply@blogger.com
