As our justice system now steps in here and we move to the courts, I have to say this.
In cases like these, where we know FOR A FACT, that this kid is the shooter, justice should be swift. Period. He did it. I understand all about innocent until proven guilty. I'm willing to bet the shooting is on camera. We have eye witnesses, he confessed, there is no "innocent until proven guilty" here. He did it.
Now, we will waste thousands of dollars on this and heaven forbid, he decides he wants a trial - costs even more.
Why? He did it. Sentence him. Lock him up. Its over. Just that quick. I really believe that in cases like this - the wheels of justice should move fast. But, instead, he will linger in jail and have court date after court date after court date and maybe even a trial after a couple of years have passed. Why? Why put the victim's families through all that?
He did it. Its over.
