PA, James Lambert, 73 , beaten to death by 7 youths, Philly

[PrairieWind]

3rd person - 14yr old girl - turned herself in.

Girl, 14, Is 2nd Young Person Charged With Murder in Traffic Cone Beating Death

Two girls, aged 13 and 14, are the latest young people to surrender to police in connection to the caught-on-camera deadly beating of a 73-year-old man with a traffic cone in North Philadelphia last month.

The 13 yo girl that also turned herself in must be the one on the video with her hand over her mouth. She is the only one that seems horrified by what is happening and she seems to actually try to intervene a little at one point.

4th person - 13yr old girl. I think that leaves one girl and two boys unidentified.

She’s the only one that I’ve seen who has counsel:

“Mills [girl’s atty] called on the district attorney's office and police investigators to review the surveillance video of the attack. Not only did the 13-year-old not attack the victim, but she actually tried to stop the beating, called 911 when Lambert fell to the ground and stayed with him until first responders arrived, Mills said.”

IF this is true, she should be commended, not prosecuted. A 13 yo girl has no ability to stop a mob attack.

terrible
I hope these murderers are held fully responsible

 

[airportwoman]

Gang initiation, perhaps?

In the meantime, I saw a picture of the victim. He was black, too.

JMO The whole time-bomb is too many parents failing to parent. Too many babies with too many baby daddies and no one taking responsibility... no one behaving like an adult. Everyone saying my life stinks, full of evil and violence so I'm going to do just life everyone else and allow sick behavior to go on and on and on. I won't change, I want to continue to breed violence. Tick tick tick...

Is anyone here good at figuring out things like whether there is a law allowing the parents to also be charged? If my child/teenager is out in the middle of the night, I do admit it's my responsibility to know that and know what they are doing. Even if they are sneaky, even if they are "impossible to control." They are minors. The buck must stop with their parents, unless they were under someone else's care at the time (ETA: as far as the child/teen's well-being at 3:00 a.m., not that they can control the teen's actions.)

Also with so many suspects, I think each one's actions need to be looked-at and charges- if they are charged- carefully based on what that particular suspect actually did.
For example, if one of them called 911, I don't think she should be criminally charged. That took courage.

I agree---the one teen that stayed with the victim and called 911 should be praised and not criminally charged.

What does it mean "they turned themselves in"?
Like - voluntarily?

Besides, if Police know the name even of 1 of them - it means, they should know the identity of all of them, no?
They seem to be a group of friends.

Are they runaways from home?

In a recent, separate incident, one of the 13yr old girls was shot in the face. I’m not good tech-wise - I’ll paste the reporter’s Tweet below and attach a screenshot.

“SCOOP: 13 year old girl shot in face last night was one of the juveniles in the surveillance video of traffic cone murder of 73 year old James Lambert, multiple @phillypolice sources confirm to me. She is in stable condition. 1/2 @FOX29philly”

“2/2 @PhillyPolice sources tell me she was among juveniles seen in video recorded attack on Mr. Lambert, but is not charged & never interviewed. Now considered a witness in the killing. Her shooting last night believed to be result of “juveniles playing with a gun” @FOX29philly”

Well, we all know what this is: the attempted murder of a witness to murder. Shot behind the ear. Someone walked up right behind her and tried to silence her.

There’s more to the story of the kids who fatally beat a 73-year-old man with a traffic cone, lawyers say

"This was not an evil bunch of kids marauding the streets looking for somebody to beat up – and that’s been the impression," said attorney Caroline Turner, who’s representing one of the teens.

Was the girl that was shot the one who was not charged?

“The 13-year-old has not been charged in the attack on Lambert, and police have not found any connection between the deadly assault and the shooting.” @Marg from Oz

Teen shot in Germantown was present during deadly attack on 73-year-old last month: Police

The 13-year-old has not been charged in the deadly attack on James Lambert and police have not found any connection between the deadly assault and the Friday night shooting.

sources tell me she was among juveniles seen in video recorded attack on Mr. Lambert, but is not charged & never interviewed.

Quote snipped by me.
Was she never interviewed because she has a lawyer preventing it? I hope she recovers fully. At 13, she has her whole life ahead of her, to move to a new place, to change the kind of people she's around...

I don’t know. There was a 13yr old girl who turned herself in with counsel, but there’s nothing about whether that is the one who was shot. I’m guessing they are two separate 13yr old girls.

Whichever 13 yr old she is, there is a serious lack of supervision going on in that home.
