Time is of the essence
May 22, 2009Thanks once again to everyone who has visited the site. Yesterday alone, more than 2,000 people visited our Blog, many leaving very insightful and supportive comments. But time is now of the essence. If the DA fails to file an appeal by end day Tuesday, May 26, the defendant will likely be tried as a juvenile. We must keep this from happening.
Our story has reached a national audience. ABC.com posted an article, accounting for over a major up-tic in visits. 20/20 sees this as an appropriate part of a bigger story they are planning on teen violence. Parents, talk about this issue with your son or daughter. Teens talk to your parents, teachers and school counselors and if you do not get the proper response, keeping talking until you do.
Should 20/20 chose to include this case as an example, it may be too late to be of value to the DeIuliis family. However, perhaps other teens and families will be spared the ordeal this family has endured. Adult crime does mandate adult time.
I see cases where violent acts are committed by much younger juveniles and they are charged are adults.
Why can’t the County get the job done in this case…this issue is going to come back come election time —
Zapalla,
If you are going to declare the next election won, you better show us you can get the job done!
