The 12, now 13 year old's mother was on the Queen Latifah show this morning. They did a telephone interview with the late 6 year old girl's mother. She stated that it doesn't make her feel any better that he has been convicted of life in an adult prison because either way, her daughter will not be brought back. She also stated that the 13 yr old's mother was offered a plea bargin of 3 years in juvenile detention with counseling, but they declined it, saying this was an accident. Tiffany's (the 6 year old) mother said she wept because she knew that there was no way that he wouldn't be found guilty, it was clear that he would have to pay for what he did - accident or not- and she couldn't understand why she would put her son through this.
Anyway, I'm curious now to see what will happen with the boy in Santee, especially since the 13 year old was convicted, when he did not have an intent to kill, yet the child in Santee's intent was murder.
