Fourteen year old Antonio Nunez (now 16), kidnapped Santa Ana businessman Delfino Moreno in 2001. When cops got on to him, Nunez shot at them with an AK-47. His lawyers offered in mitgation his "mental maturity." Yesterday Orange County Superior Court Judge William Froeberg sentenced the yoot to life in prison without possibility of parole. Sounds like a Supremes candidate to me. |
Some quotes from other articles:
Froeberg said that, since his conviction, Nunez has started a riot, assaulted an inmate and been confined for 60 days.
and
Alistair Hodgett, spokesman for Amnesty International in Washington, D.C., said the human-rights organization is opposed to sentences of life without parole for juveniles as a matter of policy.
"(The) sentence doesn't hold any hope," Hodgett said. "That's a very absolute judgment, especially for someone so young."
Actually something rather more absolute would be preferable.

Posted by: Rodger Schultz on June 14, 2003 09:22 AMThere's an old country song, "Happy Birthday Jim Beam" about hanging some punk. I recall the line, "He'd killed 11 men before he was 12". Hang 'em high.
