Tried as an adult my ass. You know if he was banging his teacher nobody would be sitting around deciding if he is an adult or not. Her ass would just be rung through the ringer. What horse shit children are children that’s why they cant buy liquor or cigarettes, and they don’t have it together enough to understand the gravity of what they have done when they kill somebody, duh.
