The boy, who has not been identified because he is a minor, was charged today with 2nd degree murder with special circumstances for using a dangerous weapon in the crime, ABC station KGO-TV in San Francisco reported. HOTD: We've heard a lot about knives in this case; no details about the "special circumstances" provided yet.
Mark Reichel and Steve Plesser, attorneys from a firm hired by the boy's family to represent him, told ABC's Sacramento affiliate KXTV that they met with him today at a juvenile detention facility. HOTD: Lawyered up quickly; lots of reports in news stories' comments that locals who donated to the family early on are demanding their money back, they don't want to be contributing to the private defense of the alleged killer.
"He's actually doing very well right now," Plesser said. "As well as can be expected in these really difficult times."
The two attorneys said they plan to ask the court to allow the boy to return to his family. HOTD: This ain't gonna happen. Looks good to make such a statement, as if the family would welcome him back (whether it's true or not), knowing imo that the judge will
deny the request.
