I was in support of this kid getting out until Sharpton opened his big fat mouth. He makes a mockery of anything he is involved with. I think the charges and punishment were wrong, but thank's to Sharpton I hope the AG wins.

While I think minors having sex is a no-no, I can't see giving a minor a 10 year sentence for having sex with a minor. I have REAL issues with this selectively trying minors as adults.

They can't vote nor buy a beer, nor even join the military without parental consent; yet, they can be tried as adults. Bullshit double -standard.

In some cases I can see them being tried as an adult, but not this one.

Sharkton is just trying to get in on a winning side for a change. This is definately a case where the AG needs to be taken down a notch. If he wants to prosecute somebody he needs to go after sharkton.
