I am looking for a selected group that would be known to be against adult punishment for minors in violent crimes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Probably the ACLU. They think kids should have all the rights of an adult, but bear none of the consequences of being an adult.

Also, Geoff Feiger, who defended the 12 year old Pontiac boy charged with murder back in 2000.

Also, do you know who is it that determines the case be tried in adult or juvinile court?

Usually, the juvenile court judge decides whether to waive jurisdiction if all the statutory requirements are met (and I have no idea what they are in Michigan).

English Composition, huh? When I first saw the post, I thought "About time sit-rep graduated 8th grade." Don't tell him I said that.

lol You know I was really reluctant to expose the class the essay was for, and now I am sorry I did.;) When Tim gets home, he's gonna ream me!

I remember the Feiger case, but I thought it was an accident that the gun went off. I will use the ACLU but I fear the possibility my professor may be a liberal.

Thanks for the info. And we are waiting to do Royal Oak!
