SHEBOYGAN, WI (WTAQ) - Bonds of $1 million each were set today for a pair of 13-year-old boys charged as adults with a prosecutor called the “callous” murder of a 78-year-old Sheboygan Falls woman.
Antonio Barbeau and Nathan Paape are charged with party to first-degree intentional homicide. Police said Barbeau’s great-grandmother, Barbara Olson, was killed with a hatchet and a hammer on Monday.
District Attorney Joe DeCecco said Paape’s mother dropped off the boys at Olson’s house – and they were ransacking it when Olson came home and caught them. The DA said the two boys then attacked her, and tried but failed to drag her bloodied body to her car.
DeCecco said the boys then put jewelry and other items in her vehicle and drove it to Sheboygan bowling center – and they left the keys in it, hoping that someone would steal it and then become implicated in Olson’s murder.
The prosecutor then said the boys went to eat pizza – and then bought cleaning wipes to get their fingerprints off the victim’s car.
DeCecco said the boys admitted going to the house with the intent to rob and kill Olson. He said he did not know why they wanted to kill Olson, and would not say why they planned to rob her.
He said the “callousness” of the crime would, “shock and disturb the community.”
The two boys are due back in court October 2nd, when a judge will determine if there’s enough evidence to order trials.
Let me guess....
This may be the perps:
guess what.did ja guess right?
Well, we know those boys aren’t Amish; the press NEVER would’ve released those photos if they had been.
Soulless crime. Who would hack his own great-grandmother to death?
You beat me.
Look at the expressions on their faces. Certainly druggies.
. . . as juxtaposed with a ‘tender’ murder, one assumes ?
Let me guess....
And your guess was?...........
LOL!
Well, I’m sure they wont be charged with a hate crime so that should make it a love crime.
Obviously not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree.
Thirteen years old, eh? How long can Wisconsin keep them locked up for murder at that age?
Well, at least they weren’t praying in school...or anywhere else, apparently.
We teach them that human beings are animals, and they behave as animals, and we are supposed to be surprised.
No prayer in school, but I bet they’ve had years full of secular PC values training. It’s a cold world out there for kids these days and too many parents dump morality training on the soulless schools.
The only good thing for these vermin is to be promptly executed and buried ! How despicable of killing one of the kids great grandmother’s !
Too bad WI doesn’t have the death penalty though.
Maybe they’d be set free shortly after turning adult, or maybe sent to some kind of “institution”. So young that you have murderers who had to be dropped off to the scene of the crime as they’re too young to drive.
I would guess ineligible for death penalty which they deserve.
From a Wisc station but it’s a nationwide situation:

>>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled unconstitutional mandatory sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole for people under age 18 when they committed murder in a ruling that could affect nearly 2,500 young prisoners.
By a 5-4 vote, the high court ruled the U.S. Constitution forbids such a mandatory sentencing scheme for juvenile murderers. Conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy joined the liberals while the more conservative members dissented.
The ruling was a major victory for convicted juvenile murderers from Alabama and Arkansas who argued that life imprisonment without the possibility of parole violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
The ruling could affect nearly 2,500 prisoners serving sentences of life in prison without parole for murder committed under the age of 18. The United States has more than 2.2 million inmates in prisons or jails.

Guess again, LOL!
charged as adults but wonder if they would serve life—see S.Court ruling above
>>The teens, identified as Antonio Barbeau and Nathan Paape, were arrested and charged as adults of first-degree intentional homicide f
Charging them as adults. Do an adult crime, do an adult time. Very bad seeds.
