KID PLEADED GUILTY IN LAWRENCE KING MURDER TRIAL

Fourteen year old Brandon McInerney pleaded “not guilty” in the killing of classmate Lawrence King (Left). Lawrence gave Brandon a Valentine card and Brandon decided he was a homophobe and shot Lawrence because of it.

Defense lawyers also argued yesterday that the charges should be dropped to manslaughter, rather than murder. McInerney faces up to 51 years in prison if convicted, because he is being trialed as an adult rather than a youth.

I hope a lesson for the public will come out of this trial. Homophobia in the school place is not needed. I was once there and felt the homophobia throughout high school. No one needs to go through this, straight or gay.

TEEN WHO SHOT LAWERENCE KING BEING TRIALED AS AN ADULT

Lawrence King and Brandon McInerney

Most you all know about the tragic story about a young 15 yr who was shot by a classmate because he was gay. The judge in charge of the case wants to have Brandon McInerney stand trial as an adult for his actions.

A judge in California has ruled that that a 14-year-old boy who is to stand trial for the murder of his classmate be dealt with as if he were an adult.

As a result of Ventura County Superior Court Judge Douglas Daily's ruling, Brandon McInerney could face life in prison. [SOURCE]

But.. Get this. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans activists had urged that the boy be dealt with by a juvenile court. Crazy stuff eh? I dunno where I stand. I do believe when you're at that age you know what you are doing and maybe he should be charged as an adult. Killing someone is serious stuff so it should be dealt with in a serious manner.
