A 14 year old faces a capital murder charge for drowning a 2 month old baby in an apartment and police got the call at 6:20am Monday. The officers found the dead 2 month old baby, Justice Hull, with 2 other teenagers. Police think the female teenager, 14 years, drowned the baby and the second teen was a witness and likely not involved. The baby's mom is currently in jail and surrendered the child to CPS. The agency placed the baby in the home where the incident occurred at the request of the mother. The adult female caretaker of the baby left for work before the drowning occurred. Police say the 14 year old could face trial as an adult.
This relates to APUSH because in the past, there have always been trials like this where they try to do the court case as fair as possible. In this case, the 14 year old may be tried as an adult. I believe they should try her as an adult because a 14 year old by then is aware of what she's doing. Purposely killing a baby is wrong on all levels. I hope they figure out a way to right this wrong and I hope she learns that killing is wrong and should never be done.
Wow. I hardly have any words for this. But I do believe that she should be tried as an adult, especially for knowing what she was doing the whole time. I honestly have no idea how someone could even do that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jazmin by the age of fourteen you know your rights from wrongs and killing someone is way beyond that.
ReplyDeleteI agree that she should be tried as an adult considering that she knew what she was doing.
