A really interesting article about the issue (not sure if this has been posted before?): http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/7170510
I really haven't done extensive enough research to know whether I support all the claims of the article or not, but I do have to agree with the main point. I can't believe that the people in that town ever let things get this far. What is wrong with people??

I read that article a few weeks ago when it was first posted. It really made me look a few of the things concerning the case differently.

I can answer one question...where were the parents?
I listened to the Michael Baisden show a few weeks ago...the father was on there being interviewed...he states that when this went to court...that he nor the boys mom were allowed into the courtroom...they didn't have access to the and it was the grandmother(I believe, if I remember correctly....) that told THEM about the jail sentence

I saw this article too... and even at the end, it addresses the root of this issue: the punishment did not fit the crime. And the only visible answer for why this is so is that the people doing the prosecuting are racist.
I really think this is the bottom line.

While Whitlock has a pretty bizarre history as a sports writer, this article certainly is more thorough than most . . . the veiled football aspect aside (he really doesn't support it at all in this situation, although it happens all over the place), it shows this is a much more complex situation than most here are saying, by quite a ways.
