Eligible for release at 21 ? Got 2 be kidding me . 8 years for taking someone's life .

[JJSmalls]

A murderer shouldn't be charged as a juvenile.

[hugojaya]

should not be charged as juvenile- give them the adult charge
.

Turns 21, released from prison, by that time already joined a gang, kills a couple of people, then gets life in prison. Welcome to America’s justice system!

An Asian student came forward yesterday. He too was robbed by 3 teens with a knife. Many more incidents at the same location.

[stvstreett]

released at 21. the peak age of his murdering skills. makes sense

[WhySoitanly]

13% = 52% (FBI violent crime statistic)

Killed for a few dollars by a kid. What kinda parenting ( if any ) did these he and his pals receive. What a tragedy.

[keithgw]

I dont think a 13 year old can get the death penalty, try him as an adult so he gets life without parole

[qbtc]

"The young teen appeared in family court ... with his aunt and uncle". Well, that says a lot. Where are his parents?

[dashowdy]

If it were my daughter they would need to keep him in prison to keep him safe, because as soon as he got out he would be disappearing.

[johnta]

apparently there has been a rash of knife point robberies in this park as if this wasn't a one and done. They should go away for a long time, like the rest of their lives.

[cerseilannister]

Give him life or the death penalty. Shouldn't his parent(s) be charged for not supervising him? You just pop them out and let them run amok?

[nygeek]

Prayers for her family. Senseless tragedy, right before the holidays too. Just disgusting.

[hellohun]

Female we know the race of the victim, how about the killer. My bet is that they are not white. When will America admit what the problem is.

[ralphgallagher]

Just guess the race of the oppressed little boys who did this...

[benphillip]

13!? WTF
The worst thing is did under 13 was throwing an empty plastic bottle on the street when no one is watching
💔

[alexriddles]

"Unknown race face was covered" What does that mean?

[GroundbreakGames]

Probably no father in the house and mom out lookin for her next baby daddy.

My Advice, Show each one's face on T.V And send them all to the slammer, Even if they didn't do it, They allowed it to happen and these are the more important crimes we should address seriously.
