Has anyone else seen this?
Teen makes plea deal in Monon shooting

 

[lucky4034]

Unbelievable? We should stone him in town square and be done with it

 

[henktermaat]

Not even a "no-LTCH" charge.

That was back when guns were illegal on the Monon.

 

[45calibre]

good lawyer?

 

[netsecurity]

Well the old guy was at fault for not complying with the robbery. He deserved to get shot for that. Therefore the teen is only really guilty of robbery. It makes perfect sense to me. We know he didn't want to shoot him, but the old guy forced his hand by not giving up his loot.

 

[rgrimm01]

Sentencing April 25, did the judge accept the plea?

 

[bnatc]

Utterly ridiculous. He should be under a jail!!

 

[LCSOSgt11]

I shouldn't think he had a "good lawyer", only a lazy or incompetent Prosecutor/Deputy Prosecutor.

If the shoe was on the other foot so to speak, the 58 yr. old would probably be cooling his jets in the big house praying not to drop his soap.

Maybe this little dork needs to have a gun pointed at him...

 

[Fargo]

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

He should have got life. This is whats wrong with our country

 

[LCSOSgt11]

Just remember, in Indiana, there is "day for a day" good time, which means this young felon in training may be out in ten years, probably less.

Because of his demonstrated behavior, if one were to recognize him heading one's way, this might be considered prudent behavior.

 

[netsecurity]

Parole, I believe, is always about a third of the sentence. That's about six to seven years. Not terrible, except when he does get out, he won't have attempted murder on his rap sheet, which sux. Nothing on his record would indicate a history of firearms assault. He got 'attempted robbery, he should've at least got 'armed robbery' or similar weapons charges.

He didn't just accidentally shoot him once in a struggle, seven times!

 

[Dirtebiker]

A prime example of what's wrong with our "justice" system!
If we would just enforce the laws and make these hoodlums do the time they truly deserve, maybe, just maybe they would learn that crime really doesn't pay!
Yeah , I know, he was a kid (whatever!) . But anybody that can pull the trigger on another human being knows exactly what he is doing, and deserves to be punished accordingly!
This crap about two days credit for every day served is rediculous! Make them do their time!

 

[shortyforty]

if only the old guy was wearing a hoodie and eating skittles then maybe just maybe there could have been a firearms charge involved

 

[Darral27]

About 3 years ago my brother in law got shot by a 17 yo with a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun. Just a couple feet away he was hit in the upper leg with a deer slug. The "kid" who shot him was sentenced to 10 years. He will probably serve about half that. When we talk about the justice system I just have to wonder, what justice system?

 

[Vic_Mackey]

If he's so hard up, why didn't he just shoot the classmate? And who was the prosecutor on this? I'd like to call for his butt to get fired. This is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[EvilBlackGun]

And then...

... there's Fred Ludington, who shot no-one. "Bad, Badder, Baddest"??

Sooooooo, if he got 20 years he'll be out in a little over six years with good behavior.

20 years--that's good.

People have gotten a lot less for homicides. Now, see how much he actually serves and whom he shoots when he gets out.
