So you're saying Mr. Roman did, in fact, rush the boy then stood there and took three shots (18 seconds) to the chest?
no, that isnt what i said at all.

I'm simply pointing out that a human being cannot be shot three or four times in the torso with a slow loading 22 cal weapon without moving. The person would have to remain standing or kneeling, facing the shooter, in order for that to happen. Had the head shots came first and the bodies fallen face down then it is impossible to have chest wounds without rolling the body over in order to shoot it again.
The initial shooting was done with a semi-automatic rifle or handgun. <redacted> may have ‘ended their suffering and shaking’ with bullets to the head, but the chest wounds came fast and furious from another weapon, stopping the victims in their tracks, leaving them both face down. Semi-autos eject empty casings much more violently (quickly) than a bolt action. They often bounce around a long distance from where they were fired.
and whoever said that this boy couldnt be tried as an adult - the prosecution is still looking into trying him as an adult and is expected to make arguments that they will do just that.
He has no prior felony conviction.A criminal prosecution shall be brought against a juvenile in the same manner as an adult if the juvenile has been accused of a criminal offense and has a historical prior felony conviction.
nor does he qualify for section C - He has no prior felony conviction.
No I am just saying that if Romans couldn't see who was shooting him, or could see the shooter was an adult I don't think he would have moved toward the shooter. But if he could see the shooter was the kid I think he was more likely to move toward him.
They can continue to "look into it" but legally, according to AZ penal code statute 13-501 (http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/00501.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS) he doesn't fit the criteria. He isn't 15, 16 or 17 as required in section A, nor is he at least 14 years old, as required in section B, nor does he qualify for section C - He has no prior felony conviction.
He falls under section E - "If the court does not find that the juvenile is a chronic felony offender, the court shall transfer the juvenile to the juvenile court pursuant to section 8-302. "
Hi
Does it say on the states witness list the step mom was not a witness?That's interesting.
suzanne
is he was charged with killing more than one person and that makes it where they can ask that he be tried as an adult
2. "Chronic felony offender" means a juvenile who has had two prior and separate adjudications and dispositions for conduct that would constitute a historical prior felony conviction if the juvenile had been tried as an adult.
(b) Aggravated assault pursuant to section 13-1204, subsection A, paragraph 2 involving the use of a deadly weapon.
