In one article posted on this case, one of the teens charged an officer with a drawn gun per body cam footage. If that's correct, then that teens life was forfeit the moment he pulled the weapon. It's stupid to commit a burglary, it's really stupid to do it with a gun, and it's suicide if you pull it against a cop.

Ah, here we go. The omitted devil from the details. Of course that will be left out when they talk about getting the kids off the hook.

It is quite fucked up to be guilty by proxy for murder but that's the law there. I think it should be changed but I have exactly this much influence in alabama's house and senate:

I think we all agree on that. But the other 4 having the book thrown at them just for robbery is a bit... Fucked.
