This makes no sense.

I just read the article. I guess I can kinda see where the jurors had a really hard time coming to this decision.

Earlier this month, another jury convicted the two men who planned the drugstore robbery of first-degree murder. That jury decided Emanuel D. “E Man” Mitchell, 33, and Anthony D. “Black” Morrison, 45, should spend life in prison. The two talked the teenagers into doing the robbery and waited nearby in getaway cars.

There is some justice here.

I read the article... and it’s too bad that the defendant turned out to be so squishy with the truth. He didn’t help his case any to lie about things. But in no way do I see a murder charge here. So what if he fired five more times after the initial head shot? Big deal... it didn’t make the perp any deader.

So what, too, that the perp that was shot had no gun of his own. The other perp did, and he was just faster on his feet. If I see a gun, both perps are fair targets, and I’m going to keep firing until I’m sure the threat is gone.

This is a gross injustice.

Scorecard:

14 yr old with the gun - imprisoned until he turns adult. The maximum he could get as a juvenile.

16 yr old without any weapon - dead.

The two adults who sent the kids into the pharmacy to pull the robbery while they waited in the car - both convicted of felony murder, given life sentences.
