re: During a school search, his backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, a watch , silver wedding bands, earrings with diamond, and a large flathead screwdriver.
My guess is that will never be allowed to be entered as evidence.
I agree. IIRC, in the media it was stated that school officials could not 'identify' (establish the owner) any of the items, so no charges were pressed. No proof, no charges, no legal relevance.
I still want to know whom that jewelry belonged to.
IMO, this kid was a punk in training for full fledged criminal activity. Now, he is no longer headed for a life in and out of the prison system.
His parents have been wearing rose-colored glasses. Especially his ‘mom’.
