Chris Pittman was tried as an adult because he clearly demonstrated (Through his statements and actions) that he understood right from wrong, understood his actions and attempted to conceal his crime. His behavior was proof enough. If you want someone to blame for the concurrent 30yr sentences (The state minimum by law for the offense) then you need to blame his dumbnutt defense counsel. They could have plea-bargained a reduced sentence, perhaps... but instead they attempted an emotional appeal, using fuzzy statistics which were proven to be stacked in favor of the defense and not on par with recognized data... and also called a questionable "expert" witness for the defense, who's bias was clearly exposed to the jury. Just because you have a blog doesn't mean you can think clearly. Focus your energy on helping Chris get on with his life, accept his consequences UNDER THE LAW for his ACTIONS, and cease the diatribe. Stop fucking up America. 675176@blogcritics.org Tue, 27 Nov 2007 15:09:27 EST
