this seems to be happening all to often, I myself had a court date for custody for my kids, and even after years of bullying my my ex-husband and his new wife, when we got to court I didnt even get the chance to cross-examine him and the judge was more concerned about what time it was then hearing both sides of the story. Since the judgement, my ex- has taken my son from his day camp at the boys and girls club and harassed me via email, text and verbally in my driveway, and last week still with no signed judgement the judge demanded that even though neither party agrees with the current judgement and we should be, we both must sign it and then go through a court of appeals to fix it.

Fucking typical and sad. Black high school kid who's PROBABLY INNOCENT is yanked out of school by cops, given an inadiquit defense, is assaulted while incarcerated, and a year later it's OFF TO JAIL - TEN MONTHS. No due process, what so fucking ever. What evidence is there that this kid EVER committed a crime?!

It all comes down to fucking money, i mean literally it does! If Kyeron's family had MONEY, he would not be sitting in jail today!

Innocent until proven guilty... WHAT BULLSHIT!

The fuckwad *plead guilty* for Christ's sake.

And, people might give a little weight to your inane ravings if you learned how to spell, dummy. The correct spelling is "inadequate."

No wonder people on this site think you are such a douche nozzle.

Well it's very typical that you'd respond with the standard line of name-calling, insults, and ad-hominium attacks.

Maybe the poor kid plead "guilty" b/c, i dunno, HE'S A KID and probably didn't have a full understanding of his rights and the legal process. It was already mentioned that he had a sorry excuse for a defense lawyer.

And it's also a typical cop-out response to point out any honest misspellings as a way to mock someone, b/c you can't take on that person's arguement in a legitimate fashion. Also, to attempt to detract attention away from the larger picture. That being, a modern day Jim Crow system that ensnares young black men at every chance, while most white youth accused of crimes tends to recieve a pretty good defense, reform, probation, 2nd/3rd/4th chances - as oppose to JAIL/PRISON.

Young white males pleading guilty to armed robbery get reform or probation?
Didn't know that.
Thanks for setting the record straight.

So the family has lost 'faith' in the courts, but obviously their jesus has helped at all either despite their pleas to him. Do they still have faith in the zombie ghost who isn't helping them?

My comment above should read 'hasn't helped at all'.

@ frankieb ~ You're welcome. I knew you'd smarten up and conclude that i was right, eventually.

@ luckybulldog13pdx ~ You've got a good point there. It's always terrible for folks to put their faith in ridiculous and barbaric religions. So agreed on that front.

Please wait...
