"I work in 95 degree heat all day long, in the sun wearing long sleave FRC’s."

You move around and get circulation. This boy was in fixed position from Wednesday evening/night until around 4:30 p.m. Thursday. He also had bindings all over his body such that it left bruises. I doubt your shirt gives you bruises.

You are probably long used to working in the heat if you've done it for years and years.

The theft conviction was in '91 but most often a person is only caught a small percentage of the time and the character of a person is usually formed and doesn't change once they are grown - and she would have been 19 or 20.

Though we will have to wait and see for the autopsy report. I wonder if they'll give the child's weight but I'll be it is much less - probably almost half - than that 170-pounder you bring up.

This person seems bent on justifying the actions that killed a 13-year-old child.

Presuming it all happened the way we’ve been reading, I actually agree that the first degree charge is perhaps unjustified, since afaik, in order to get a conviction for that charge, premeditated intent would have to be proven. I seriously doubt either of them planned for things to work out this way.

But to rail against a murder charge in general is absurd. They clearly neglected/abused the kid. He died from their actions. It might not have been premeditated, but that’s why the law recognizes several degrees of murder.
