Guilty or Not...Part 2
Last night, in the Queens section of New York, 5 teens ranging in age from 14-17, brutally attacked and killed a man...because they were in the mood for some Chinese food.
The teens ordered $60 worth of chicken and broccoli, egg foo yung, etc. and gave the restaurant the address of an abandoned house...when the unsuspecting delivery man (immigrant and father of two small children) arrived at the house the teens threw a blanket over his head and beat him with their fists and hit him in the head repeatedly with a brick. As the man lay there in a pool of blood, the teens grabbed the bags of food and fled to another house where they enjoyed their meal.
...The only girl involved in the attack is being described as a good, but naieve girl who was enlisted in the plan by her boyfriend and his friends. Although she didn't physically harm the delivery man, she was the one to call in the order on her cell phone...and she waited on the porch of the abandoned house as he walked up knowing full well that the other teens were hiding in the bushes ready to attack.
Question: Should she be charged with second degree murder (which she already has) and facing 25 years to life as the other teens, who actually murdered him?
The girl has received a certificate from president Clinton for Outstanding Educational improvement.
Today was supposed to be her first day in college, instead she's behind bars. What is going so terribly wrong with our young people?
