In response to a defendant’s argument regarding a difficult home life, the judge replied, “there are a lot of people with issues in their lives that don’t make these types of decisions.”
“As I have stated, this is a tragic case where a 16-year-old lost her life. The five juveniles responsible for this senseless act have all been held accountable and sentenced between 20 years and life in prison. Whenever a juvenile commits a crime of violence with a deadly weapon, the law treats them as an adult, and they will be punished as such,” stated District Attorney W. Crosby Parker.
“We as a Gulf Coast community must make a difference before the violence. Many times, there are warning signs of which juveniles are at risk to become violent offenders. Many times, it’s right there on social media. After the crime, people want to ask how this happened even though the explanation is right there.
If you see your child, your relative, someone you care about on social media with a deadly weapon, it is imperative you do something. Make a difference. After the crime is committed, it is too late--there is only accountability and consequences. Do something, say something--act.”
