Hi Dave,

It's the subtleties (sp) that you have to read into. Teenager yes, but Virgina and Alabama execute under age 18, Maryland does not.

Maryland is where they will be prosecuted, and I belive that anyone that can distinguish between right and wrong, and a 17 year old can, needs to be held acocuntable for their actions. Period.



Thanks for the reply, though.

I get you and I agree with your point - just get disturbed sometimes with knee-jerk reactions here as they often get copied, posted, and warped on TOS sites. Also, I apoligize - you did not post this under breaking news - my bad.

Please ad CNNs Talk Back Live,,,,,,what er name Neville has an attorney on here focusing on 17yr old, 17,17,17.................

Then a defense attorney comes on and starts looking after Malvo's victim rights. He is a child you know /sarcasm off/

"He could be under influence of a dominant adult."

At least the radio station (WTOP) I'm listening to is referring to them by their EVIL three/full names.

Maryland is where they will be prosecuted

I see no reason why they couldn't also stand trial in the other jurisdictions for the crimes committed there. Maryland shouldn't be allowed to prosecute for the killings in VA and AL -- and if the 17-year old only gets one year in Maryland, he better pray he never gets spotted in (or extradited to) VA or AL, since those crimes will not have been tried yet.

Maryland is where they will be prosecuted

Maryland is where the will be prosecuted first, but I can't imagine that the local DAs in the Virginia jurisdictions will pass up a chance to also prosecute.
