| superchunk said: This story sucks. The two 12yr olds should NOT be tried as adults and put in adult jail. They obviously have mental issues and should be placed in a mental health institute. Prison for a 12yr old will only kill them or make them worse humans. This type of kid being tried as adult crap happens way too often. |
Prosecutors always try to get first-degree murder (or attempts at such) tried in adult court. Just like murder 1 has no statute of limitations, murder 1 also has no limits on age.
Whether it actually goes there is another story. The town i came from had an 11-year-old (made national news for a bit) get his dad's shotgun and shoot his stepmom-to-be (who was pregnant) in the stomach while she was sleeping, and his case ended up getting tried in juvenile.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
