Wrist Slap for Murder

It isn't only fifth-graders sneaking peeks at lesbians who can get in big trouble. Look what the courts did to some fun-loving teens who beat a well-known street musician to death:
Two 16-year olds and a 15-year-old pleaded guilty April 3 to first-degree manslaughter in the death of 53-year-old Ed McMichael, who was beaten Oct. 25 during a robbery near Seattle Center and later died of his injuries.
The older teens, who also pleaded guilty in an unrelated robbery, were sentenced Wednesday in King County Juvenile Court to up to 72 weeks in detention. The 15-year old was sentenced to up to 36 weeks.
Don't feel too bad for the poor lads:
They will be given credit for about 24 weeks already spent in custody.
The country is turning into a great place to be a criminal.
Apparently killing Seattle's Tuba Man was no big deal.
On a tip from Lyle.
