[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update on the case:

13 yr old cannot be tried as an adult under any circumstances, even for murder in DC

[b]15 yr old can be tried as an adult but only at discretion of the judge and burden is high

Prosecutors are working on a plea deal.  Next hearing in April..[/b]

I am stunned.  This is so depressing.

Are these Feds? Why can't DC tell them that we expect the 15yo to be tried, regardless if it is hard?[/quote]
No it’s being handled by the DC Attorney General’s Office. And that office makes the decision on whether it would like to try and have the 15 year olds case transferred to adult court, at which time there is hearing before the judge who decides if it should or shouldn’t be transferred to adult court. The AGs office will never seek to have the 15 year old transferred to adult court so there will not be a decision for the court to make. [/quote]

And Mr. Anwar paid the ultimate price for this line of thinking. Had the 15 year old been given appropriate legal consequences and supervision after her first carjacking, Mr. Anwar would likely still be alive; and the 15 year old wouldn't be living the rest of her life with the guilt of having needlessly killed an innocent person.
