He faces a misdemeanor count of fifth-degree assault. The individual asked for an evidentiary hearing at a court appearance July 16 and was eventually released to his mother. </blockquote><br />Hopefully, she's making his life miserable.<br /><blockquote>The case for the teenager is designated as an extended juvenile jurisdiction: if he's found guilty, he could face an adult prison sentence that would be stayed until he reaches 21. </blockquote><br />That's good news. Ducking an adult sentence for an adult crime by being a few weeks too young would be an injustice.<br /><blockquote>The victims were four people who live at the house and two visitors, who said they were assaulted when a group of nine people kicked in the front door and entered the home.</blockquote><br />What do you do when nine people kick down your door? <br /><br />Reinforce your front door, and keep some reloads handy.princewallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09801887076891107980noreply@blogger.com0
