    Good questions which I’m not going to try and answer based on speculation and conjecture, I’d have to research it further but based on what I know from unreliable sources (news post) if its determined at the hearing that would take place at that time that she still needs help at 21...

    I agree with you that its better to be nice than mean & in that spirit I want to suggest in question form was O.J. Simpson’s murder trial a good example of a high profile ("so public") case receiving justice? Me thinks that by us writing about the case here at W/S that it has the...

    In a psychology class a semester or 2 ago (social-psych major here) I learned that their actually is a test to determine ones mental/emotional age. Can’t remember the name of the model or who drew it up, but I’m certain at least one exist. But you're right, still not "exact"...

    Seems we’ve a grasp on the Duel Jurisdiction System (some of us) and how even if AB gets convicted as an adult on first-degree murder she can still be held by Youth Services and when she’s 21 after a subsequent hearing to determine if she’s rehabilitated can be released or sent...

    Paximus, EndressEscobar, Prof… Thank you for the sound logic, reasoning, ideologies and arguments, you must be adults! (Teehehe) Maybe AB didn’t dig the graves, they preexisted… Peace be with you

    I quoted your 2nd paragraph & paraphrased the 3rd in an earlier post of mine, I’m not seeking recognition for that like I beat you to the draw or something, rather I’m applauding you & thanking God that someone has the aptitude to understand just what the heck is going on here & how...

    "If Bustamante is convicted of first-degree murder, that does not mean she will not end up with youth services." "Missouri is one of 22 states with a 'dual jurisdiction' system. That means a judge could decide to keep her in the juvenile system until she turns 21. At that point, another...

    Finally back home with a few minutes to elaborate on my post concerning juvenile trial vs. adult trial. Just want to quickly respond to the theory that because AB is 15, has free will, and is responsible for her decision & actions she should be tried as an adult. I’ll reiterate...

    Thank you for welcoming me here & all who’ve responded to my 1st post. I’m looking forward to exploring this issue & other issues with you further but I need to be absent from a computer for approximately 4 hours, when I come back I’ll be looking forward to anything else anyone...

    I’ve been following this case/story closely since its inception and I’ve been studying this thread for 3 days. I’m awe struck at the intelligence & emotions everyone’s sincerely displaying. Sometimes the world seems so cold to me, plastic, self-centered & heartless that...
