[Vision2020] Deary Teens Sentenced

[Wayne Price]

Sunil,

The problem is, "we" the people that elected the prosecutor  only know  
what we know about this case from the press, NOT the elected official.

What has been released is that two very violent offenders are being  
released after 30 days detention and 3 years probation.
IF there is more that what appears, should it be up to the electorate  
to dig it out or should there be a statement as to "WHY" from
the elected official?

There very well COULD be reasons for this sentence, but don't you  
think the electorate have a right to know why two juveniles, who have  
admitted
to violent crimes with firearms are just getting what appears to be a  
slap on the wrist?
