Missing Girl Found in Dumpster

[Dead Duck]

This one was hard to read for me because I have 3 girls myself.

I'm just wondering, what is the youngest age you can be tried as an adult and does CA have the death penalty?

Wow! How awful, I feel for her family. How awful.

Dang.

But that evidence seems pretty light. Because the boy was watching the police search? People rubber neck all the time.

Agree that the evidence presented sounds light. I'm thinking we haven't heard all that they have at this point.

Horrible in any case.

14 and over, no death penalty.

They were 12 and 13 when tried and convicted as adults. They're getting out now, at 29 years of age.

Until recently Indiana used to have waiver on murder at age 10, but it went up to 12 or 14 this month. I can't remember which.

Edit: it is now 12 under IC 31-30-3-4.
