I am getting a bit nervous about all the bashing we are doing to the defense attorney's in this case. I realize that he tweeted something off-base, calls himself super lawyer and all, but he has been hired by the family to defend their son against horrendous charges of killing his little sister.
Especially in this case, as he is a minor, I really want to know that he is getting the best defense possible. I know what evidence we do have looks bad for the boy, but also want to make sure this plays out in a court of law, as it should. We have seen so many cases where minors (and even plenty of adults) have been falsely accused and the ramifications they have had in their lives.
At this point, he is safely tucked away in a facility for juveniles and is not a danger to society, so I think it is a good idea to try to let his lawyers (whether we like them or not) try their best to defend this boy (I mean good gosh....he's only 12 years old!!!)
I really hope and pray that he is innocent and that this is all one huge mistake. I highly doubt it, but I think every minor deserves the benefit of the doubt even moreso than an adult. Call me Pollyanna, but that is just the way I feel.
I know this isn't a court of law and everyone is entitled to their opinions here, and I respect that. I just hope others respect mine on the matter as well.
I honestly cannot imagine the pain this family is going through right now. All of them.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
