Go back and read SGG's post on the Florida murder statutes. This will most likely be tried as a capital case unless there's a plea deal to a lesser included offense.

Rivera is a juvenile, but I believe his case could be bound over to Superior Court and he would be tried as an adult.

One thing I don't like about Florida law is that they only apply Second Degree Murder to everyone involved except the one who actually pulled the trigger. In NC, we have an element in our laws called "acting in concert", which means if you were involved in the offense, you are treated just as if you committed the murder yourself.

It's still too early to say what exactly these individuals will be indicted with. If this get to trial on a first degree murder charge, I doubt if a jury will recommend the death penalty. Mostly because of the defendant's age.

I tried to log on to their myspace page and leave a message buy you have to be their "friend".. I didnt know this because I never use myspace but I was gonna leave a piece of my mind with them. On Wardlow's page there's a comment from some girl saying that she doesn't think he did this, she saw his face on the news, and free her friends blah blah blah. They should all be castrated!!!!!

Thanks LB, for the insight. I thought that a capital crime included a combination of murder and rape or a double murder or a double rape. I also believed that a single murder could only be considered a capital crime if it was a cop, servicemember, or government official. Apparently, a murder in conjunction with an armed robery is a capital crime as well.

Each state has the right to define "capital murder," within the limits of the 8th Amendment. Florida does not mess around with criminals. Like many states, Florida has pretty strict murder statutes when it comes to murders committed during the course of the commission of a felony.

the mother fuckers need to burn

[Captain_Chaos_73]

I think they should put them in he middle of the Orange Bowl with their hands tied behind there backs and let all the players from The U, and Redskins have 10 minutes them whatever happens; happens

[EternalEnigma21]

anyone else notice they all have pictures of cash in their profile pics... and the one "thinking of a master plan"...

pieces of shit

[skinsguy]

This is even more horrible just to know that it was a bunch of kids who did this to Sean. It makes me sick. This whole "thug life" thing just absolutely makes me sick. It needs to stop.

[JWsleep]

I don't have words to express how I feel about these worthless pieces of shit.

[Vulta121]

Turn on the electric, get the bucket of water ready, and trap those fuckers in. It's time to fry some scum-bags. Listen guys this sounds harsh but you know what these guys should get tried like adults and put to death. Even if they didn't want to kill him they shouldn't be invading someone's home. I live in Miami and I keep a guns in my room I just wish they would have come to my house instead of Sean's.

[Ijaeger]

i feel sorry for these guys, to eventually die and then have sean waitin for you at the gates for an eternity of ass stomping. we should pity these poor souls...on second thought, what the hey...

A needle is way to easy for them. I can't believe this happend so fast, I honestly thought this was never going to be solved. It really gives me some peace of mind though, knowing there not on the streets enjoying life.
