A convicted teen murderer on furlough cut off his ankle monitor and vanished for two days in Orange County.

Jose Angel Aguilar was a juvenile when he murdered someone in Anaheim back in 2021. Specific details about the case are not public. Since then, he has been serving time at an Orange County Probation Department juvenile facility.

Aguilar has been caught after his brief escape, but the incident has raised troubling questions.

The probation department says they were made aware that the juvenile court granted Aguilar access to a weekly academic furlough in February. On March 6, they went to the courts and asked them to revoke the furlough access due to concerns about recent potential violations.

The furloughs were allowed to continue, and four days later -- on Tuesday, March 10 -- he cut off his GPS monitor.

Someone made the decision to try a 17-year-old murder suspect in juvenile rather than adult court. This person has a name. What is it?

“Only in America can you find a kid wearing $150 sneakers, drinking a $5 cup of coffee, typing on a $1,000 cell phone, complaining on social media that he is oppressed.”

Research, Loyalty.

How many kids get the name of a city tattooed on the side of their face?
