I can't believe the look outs aren't being charged. That's incomprehensible. I sure expected more from Texas justice.
Same here, but remember this is Austin TX, home of ronnie earle the DA. He is too busy chasing nekid men thru the woods beating a cooked chicken with a hammer and going after Tom DeLay.
BTW, what the article DOES NOT address, is that this woman had cancer and was on chemo. One doctor said the attack could have killed her.
Laws are odd everywhere, including Texas. For sometime now, the law has been on the books that if a perp is aiding and abetting another perp who commits a murder, the perp who aids and abets the actual killer can and will be tried for the murder just as if he had done it himself regardless of intent - as in the whine, "I didn't know he was going to kill someone".
A good example is the killers of Kenneth Byrd (truck dragging) incident and the killing of the Irving policeman on Christmas 3 years ago. All got the death penalty, not the just trigger man.
So, the law obviously doesnt extend to juvie rape. Too bad.
