Does this 14 year old belong in the adult legal system?
Please read this Baltimore Sun column if you choose and give your opinion on the situation. Should the boy be charged as an adult or as a juvenile? I would especially be interested in hearing from those of you who believe he should be considered a juvenile because this didn't really delve much into the judge's reasoning beyond the system being frightening for a 14 year old. Thanks!
So Circuit Judge Clifton J. Gordy thinks that sending a 14-year-old accused of murder into the adult system would be "frightening," does he?
If Gordy wants to talk about what's frightening, maybe he should live among the law-abiding residents of the neighborhood that boy - and his cohorts in the gang known as "Cutthroat" - allegedly terrorized....
Here's the rest...
