In a case that's drawing a lot of attention based on the insane level of leniency shown, two 14-year-olds who bullied, murdered, danced on the body of, and filmed a helpless 13-year-old, have been let off with the mother-of-all-slaps-on-the-wrist by a Riverside County Superior Court Justice.
According to local radio station KTLA:
Two 14-year-old Southern California boys who beat a fellow student in 2019, causing his death, won’t go to jail but must undergo anger management therapy, a judge ruled.
Riverside County Superior Court Judge Roger A. Luebs imposed the therapy as a probation condition before releasing the teenagers to their parents on Thursday, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Friday.
On Sept. 16, 2019, the teenagers were videotaped attacking 13-year-old Diego Stolz outside classrooms at Landmark Middle School in Moreno Valley, east of Los Angeles. One boy struck the teenager in the head from behind and he fell, hitting his head against a pillar. The boys then continued punching the boy, who died nine days later from a brain injury.Last fall, the boys entered the equivalent of guilty pleas in juvenile court last fall to involuntary manslaughter and assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury. They spent 47 days in juvenile custody.
The helpless 13-year-old orphan had been bullied, brutalized, begged for help from the teachers' unionized school officials whose fat-salaried job was to protect him, and got nothing. They let him get murdered. And early on, they callously blamed the kid's family for his killing, instead of themselves. The case makes one's blood boil.
How can a 13-year-old's life be worth absolutely nothing? The kid was an orphan, living with his aunt and uncle, who are now suing the school district for its lazy indifference. They'll get money no doubt, but the kid still lays dead,

Parts of his sentencing were obnoxious, too:
Judge Luebs directed that each offender enroll in character development and anger management classes, as well as perform 150 hours community service, not play violent video games, avoid social media and write letters of apology to the Stolz family. They were additionally ordered to permanently steer clear of one another.
Judge Luebs warned the pair that any probation violation could land them in deep trouble, possibly resulting in time behind bars.
Why, exactly, are they getting ‘one last warning’ to behave themselves, when they’ve already done the worst they could possibly do? These killers should have had their one-last-warning before they moved up to killing people. This didn’t happen out of the blue — one of these plagues-on-society was already on probation when he tried his hand at killing. How seriously are they going to take this latest ‘one-last-warning’? The message they’ve gotten so far is that if they get caught violating probation, all they will get is another one-last-warning. But remember, one more chance.
The school demographics are 65% Hispanic,20% black...If it had been white students the lib press would have found a way to work it in....It was black or Hispanic thugs.....
Judge Luebs needs to be removed from the bench ASAP.
Those 2 killers now have the excuse...Gosh,we meant to hurt him ,not kill him....Wonder if they will still be using that excuse in their 20’s........
No article can be worth discussing unless it give the race of the perpetrator, the race of the victim, religious affiliation of Muslim or non-Muslim, and pro-Trump or anti-Trump./s
To my knowledge those rules have not been changed./s
Turning these psychopaths loose is punishing the rest of us, they will kill again.
I don’t understand the Judge’s ‘wrist tap’ decision either.
I’m hoping there are still ways to render punishment to these two before they treat somebody else this way.
You know they’re going to be bragging that “I got away with murder, Dude! They can’t touch me!”
Couldn’t Civil Charges be brought against them?
I only ask that because this is often how the Left will treat a Cop who has just been acquitted over a particular accusation. They are allowed to do this w/o it being called
Double Jeopardy.
well they’re “boys” after all....boys will be boys...move along, nothing to see...
Gray Davis appointee. No real skills, so he’s a Superior level lifer.
Castrate them.
Them send them to anger management classes.
That will teach them while setting an example for other kids to follow! And let the sidesplitting laughter begin
One more chance? HAHAHAHA
When they kill again, it’s completely on the judge.
The judge probably has to go by sentencing guidelines established in statute for juvenile convictions.
Title 18? If it could be proved the assailants knew the kid was ghey and attacked him thusly, maybe. Otherwise, no Federal coverage.
It's what they used to call a 'ghetto' case: 'ghetto' victim, 'ghetto' defendant, 'ghetto' crime.
The only thing to look forward to is guess which kid trips a probie violation first.
Our young people are out of control, from this case, to the carjacking case in Washington D.C. to the mass shooters in Boulder and Atlanta.
California is such a S hole.
Those “Apology Letters” to the dead child’s family are likely to be either forged, dictated or plagiarized.
I doubt if either wannabeTHUG can spell or formulate a coherent sentence.
When America was still America
Goin’ to California with an achin’ in my heart.
