Denied bond after taking a life?! A judge actually doing their job?!

I'm impressed, go Florida!

[Scratchingforcash]

RIP to the mother who was killed so this kid could have fun. It’s disgusting.

[AegisReflector]

If you’re old enough to steal a car, kill a person, physically disable another, and leave multiple people in grieving you’re old enough to face the consequences

[eliot]

May She R.I.P, and may justice be served, swiftly and severly!

[ChillRichard]

His friend really acting like he didn’t want to testify, but I bet as soon as his lawyer told him what he was facing if he didn’t, quickly he spilled everything that happened

[jackieraulerson]

As Judge Kim says, “you can choose your actions, but you can’t choose the consequences.” So now the legal system will choose those consequences. This kid not only killed, he ruined his own life. Such a waste.

This is just horrible! These kids don’t have a care in the world about anyone or anything. Not even their own lives! I pray for the young man and his family who lost his mom, but the other young guy should be locked up too!!

[vulcan]

It’s ABSOLUTELY hilarious to read people say he should be given a chance to learn from his “mistake”. A 15 year old with 7 prior felonies. Yeah, that guy will learn huh? Lock him up and throw away the key.

Every decision has a consequence, I don't feel sympathy for the defendant, justice has to be brought for the victim and her family, people are so senseless nowadays.

[QuantumPsychss]

Killed one, maimed another, and psychologically devastate multiple others, yet want sympathy and release. Disgusting.

[ariashable]

Adult crimes deserve adult sentences...

[SavewithTerri]

My heart bleeds for the family of the victim. I'm so sorry for your loss of your mother. Make she rest in peace until you see her again.

[moderndaypoet]

So sad, something similar happened near where I live. So senseless. Im glad they denied bail. It's about time they make an example out of every criminal.

[dindospindos]

Just horrible way to start your life...
Condolences to the family who lost their Mom!

[deeliciousgrapes]

Sending love, hugs and prayers to the family of the victim. She was only 44.
I don't care how old they are, they fully knew what they were doing and don't deserve any remorse

[reecewatson]

These kids are getting away with to much, leave him in jail. The other kid should be in jail as well...

[mrwang]

They should extend his time just for even asking to get off. The disrespect that shows is astonishing.

[Idontgafjk]

Lock him up, those guys stole and ran. Prison for both.

[undead]

If you're old enough to know the consequences of your actions, you're old enough to face them.

This is what all kids accused of crimes need, stop holding their hands and letting them walk away.
They made the choice, make them pay for it, it doesn’t matter if it ruins their lives, they chose to ruin their life, now they have to choose whether or not they want to redeem it by behaving behind bars.
