[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Standford[/b], not Yale. And I know full well what mes rea is and have never argued that they can't be charged with murder, as this clearly fits the definition of felony murder. I've argued that they shouldn't be and the law, especially as applied to youth, is wrong. Thankfully, even though they (at least) are initially charged with murder, DC law should prevent them from facing the sort of draconian penalties normally associated with murder. It would be better not to charge them this way in the first instance and hopefully it will be plead down, but having the fail-safe in place in case the murder charge sticks provides some comfort that they will at least have some chance to redeem themselves and won't be locked away forever for actions taken as kids.[/quote] We’d take you more seriously if you spelled your alma mater correctly.[/quote]
