Cops Saturday dropped charges against suspect, 14, in murder of Tessa Majors

It's unclear why the charges were dropped or whether the boy is still a suspect

A 13-year-old suspect remains held facing juvenile charge of felony murder

If convicted he would likely be eligible for release at the age of 21

Tessa was stabbed to death during a mugging in Manhattan's Morningside Park

Cops are thought to be seeking a third juvenile suspect in the murder

I always heard that the getaway driver in an armed robbery gone bad is just as guilty as the shooter. Does that principle no longer apply?

[[If convicted he would likely be eligible for release at the age of 21]]

How soon will Tessa Majors be released? (Never- she isn’t here anymore no thanks to the scumbags who murdered her and will only get a couple of years in prison!)

It is not a setback if the 2nd one WAS NOT GUILTY. It was a step forward to the TRUTH.

She was cute.

Now Police Commissioner said she was killed trying to buy weed.

Was it DUMB to buy weed there? yes.

Does it deserve the death penalty? Um, no.

I suppose it depends on the state. If someone dies while you are part of criminal action, even if you are nowhere near the death you can be charged with what is called felony murder. If the cops shoot and kill your partner in crime, you can be charged. Might not seem fair, but if you weren’t breaking the law, someone would still be alive.

That said, I don’t know what the situation is regarding juveniles. Each state treats them differently. Sounds like NY turns them loose at 21 if they are too young to be certified as adults. New York appears to be eager to stop the “crime to prison pipeline”.

Is this case falling apart? Are we in some kind of Kate Steinle (let’s leave the perps alone!) situation?

I heard her father is a hardcore commie..I wonder while she was being stabbed to death, did she apologize to the youths for her white privilege

I heard she was from Charlottesville, VA. That’s about a 90% given right there.

I grew up in Queens. In 1966, 15 y.o. black kid down the block stabbed a young Jewish man, who just returned from Vietnam, where he served as a infantry platoon leader to death.

1972, kid turns 21, and is turned loose. First thing he does is go down to the laundromat, where he grabs a small white kid and throws him into a dryer and starts it.

Nothing changes.

Earlier post about this case..someone said they saw his twitter feed and said he was a hardcore leftist..not sure about the girl..either way, its horrible what happened to her..the story about her trying to buy weed is irrelevant, she was stabbed to death by thugs but NY is commie, they will just say oh poor boys, growing up poor its our fault

Depends upon intent, does the driver know his friend is going to rob the store, or does he think that he’s taking them to go buy something? The prosecution has to prove they knew a crime was about to go down.

There may be insufficient evidence that this kid knew a crime was about to occur or maybe even evidence he clearly was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
