this is the one

If you know only about one current event, this is it. The photo caption: 'Craig Sorger went out to play and was killed.' Two twelve year old boys are standing trial for the murder of another kid. As adults. At a hearing in July 2003,

Chief Deputy Prosecutor Stephen Hallstrom argued this case, though "tragic," is not extraordinary. "It's not extraordinary, in the strictest sense of the word, to have juveniles killing people," he said.



Hallstrom's argument stunned Brent De Young, one of Jake's attorneys: "I looked over to see if he was saying that with a straight face."

Oh, and to make it more interesting:

The trial judge has been censured for incompetence, the prosecutor has been convicted of a drug felony, and the county's public-defense system is the subject of a class-action lawsuit.

This is going to be good.
