[QUOTE="keista, post: 429540, member: 11965"] I don't have any personal experience, with the courts here, but from what I have seen, STAY OUT OF FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, really can't express that strongly enough. Kid that had lived on my block is as close as I got. Yeah, kid was in trouble with the law. They were "holding" him for the maximum allowable 30 days for a minor. They wanted to keep (sentence?) him longer, so they just turned him into an adult. WTH? That's only allowed for arson and murder/manslaughter. This was possession, or a simple assault. (Sorry, I don't remember the details, but I do remember it sounded just as screwy at the time) Then there was the kid (16 or 17)in the papers. He shot and killed his uncle, and less than 24 hrs later they were already charging up that electric chair for him. Other infor that was printed in the paper: Uncle broke into the house and attacked kid There was previous DOCUMENTED assault by the uncle on this kid This was after FL passed the "make my day" law where if you are in fear for your life - even outside your home - you don't have to run, you can shoot and ask questions later. I guess that only applies to ppl 18 and over, or maybe just card carrying members of the NRA Granted, papers don't always get ALL the information, right or otherwise, but from what I've seen the system just seems stacked against kids.
