[QUOTE="Star*, post: 411664, member: 4964"] Arson, theft, auto theft and receiving stolen property - and this is probably the last you'll see of this story........UGH. I was following the story about that 16 year old girl/prostitute in Tennessee they found guilty of murder too - held her until she was 19 before they had her trial and found her guilty. Cyntoia Brown. WOW....they had her on murder, robbery - and later dropped the robbery charges, but she got life in prison at 16. The thing was - they held her in jail until she didn't look LIKE a child any longer THEN tried her. I read the entire court transcript and watched the on -line ETV/PBS special. It was so sad.....there was history of genetic abuse - grandmother abused, mother drank and did crack and was a prostitue while she was pregnant and is STILL in jail for drug sales - and is just (whatever) about this little girl being in jail for the rest of her life for this. She was diagnosis with borderline personality disorder as a result of fetal alcohol syndrome, being born addicted to crack - and not having a stable environment from birth to 4 years old. Just now in jail she'll get rehabilitation. Her family wants her released. I thought - NOPE - she killed a man. She can get rehab, but how unfortunate that it took THIS for her to get help. The question everyone wants answered is - should she be in prison for life? Is this curable? Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
