This really happened, it happened in the USA. I am shocked beyond belief. Where is the "justice"? Children emulate their idols, accidents happen.
If this boy were the son of a white, middle-class family instead of a black single mother would the results have been the same?
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A teen who said he accidentally killed a 6-year-old family friend while imitating pro wrestlers was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder and now faces life in prison without parole.
In three hours of deliberations, the Broward Circuit court jurors accepted the prosecution's contention that 13-year-old Lionel Tate intentionally stomped, punched and kicked Tiffany Eunick, which constituted child abuse.
Under Florida law, the jurors did not have to conclude Lionel meant the girl's July 1999 death to convict him, but only that his actions were intentional and abusive.
Tate faces life without parole, although that could be commuted by the governor after hearing from the prosecutor. The teen does not face the death penalty because he is younger than 16.
Lionel, one of the youngest adult murder defendants in state history, showed no emotion when the verdict was announced, while his mother, Florida Highway Patrol trooper Kathleen Grossett-Tate, lowered her eyes.
A few days after her death, Lionel told police that he picked Tiffany up and accidentally hit her head against a table. He later made a videotape with a court-appointed psychologist where he claimed to have accidentally thrown Tiffany into a stair handrail and a wall while trying to throw her onto a sofa.
In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutor Ken Padowitz stressed intent to kill was not required for a guilty verdict.
"He didn't have to wake up that morning and say 'I'm going to kill Tiffany Eunick,"' Padowitz said. "All that is required is that he intended to act, not that he intended the result."
But Jim Lewis, Lionel's attorney, said professional wrestling was the central issue in Tiffany's death. He said Lionel is immature and didn't understand that pro wrestlers are trained to look like they beat each other without hurting each other.
"He wanted to emulate them," Lewis said. "Like Batman and Superman, they were his heroes. He loved to play."

It's a tragic story but all the facts of the case seem to be missing from this article. Are you suggesting that this incident is somehow related to the OJ Simpson case? He was black you know. Are you also claiming that a 13 year old boy doesn't know right from wrong? To compare the OJ Simpson trial to this story seems a stretch. And, after watching you kiss the Clinton's ass for the few months I've known you how can you have any claim to credibility in criticizing our legal system??????????

The facts are missing? Who posted this? Ooooooooh, it was Yukon! Well, of course the facts are missing! He wouldn't have any ammunition for a post otherwise.
Hey, Yuck, read your own post! The kid hasn't been sentenced! He only faces the possibility of life in prison. The chance of that happening is pretty much nil. OJ faced the death penalty, but you seem to forget one minor detail. He was proven innocent in a court of law. Are you saying we should sentence him anyway?
Just as an aside, the little girl had several massive injuries that contributed to her death. She was severely beaten to death. We're mad alright. We're mad that something like this could happen.

RHINO,
OJ was found innocent in one court and guilty in another. The boy was playing, he had no intention of killing the girl, accidents happen.
I submit that if the boy were white and the son of a middle-class family the case never would have gone to trial. The boy had two strikes against him to begin with. Strike one: he's black. Strike two: mum is single......he never had a chance.
How does a juvenile get tried as an adult? If a 5 year old playing with a gun shot and killed someone wopuld he face the possibility of life in prison? Try thinking with you head and not your emotions.

Boy, you love being wrong don't you? OJ was tried once and acquitted. By law, he can't be tried twice. The lawsuit does not amount to a conviction at all.
The girl was beaten to death. She had several broken bones and massive internal injuries. The head wound is just what finished her off. The coroner stated there was a good chance she would have died even without the head wound. These things may be difficult for you to understand, because you always seem to have trouble grasping the truth.
This went to trial simply because of the extensive injuries and overwhelming evidence of a systematic brutal beating. His color made no difference at all. The brutality of the crime is what prompted the judge to allow him to be tried as an adult. If your theory on race bias was correct, then OJ would have been convicted and executed. You are simply pointing out the flaws in your own thinking.
We don't try kids for accidents, even with guns. This was no accident, and your deliberate avoidance of the facts shows that you are the one not using his head.

RHINO,
With all due respect colour has everything to do with almost every social decision, and many legal decisions in the United States. Simpson was acquitted because of colour and this boy was tried because of colour and convicted because of colour.
I didn't create the race problems in the United States and thank God I don't have to live in such a colour coded society.
Perhaps you should taker a look up north and try and replicate some of our customs when it comes to race relations.

This kid in the land of Floridiots kept on hurting the little girl even after she asked him to stop. The evidence presented at trial showed this little innocent 13 yr. old boy just kept on going. It went from role playing to just bullying, to murder. I hate to think that we are that vindictive, but this kid is bad and needs to be put away where he can't harm anyone else.
When in doubt, play dead.

I definitely don't want to look north if you're an example of the racism. Your statement about color being involved in almost every social issue merely points out how deep a racist you are. You are in fact obsessed with it, so much so that you actually believe every one else is too. You stated an opinion. You've repeated it several times, even though many facts presented don't match it, and yet you still rely solely on opinion. You ignore facts completly (why should I be surprised?) and resort to emotion laced with insults. You may not live in a color coded society, but you sure have a color coded mind. That's why you can't get away from that racial assumption you have in this case, even when all the facts prove you wrong. You didn't find evidence of racial bias and then complain about it. You assumed a racial bias and searched for a case you thought matched it. Unfortunately for you, you didn't check your facts thoroughly first, as usual.

You are definitely right, Yukon. In this country, being black is strike one on a three strike system. OJ had the luxury of being a wealthy famous football player, so he lucked out. This kid, however, had no such luxury. Hence, we send a 13 year old to prison for the rest of his life.

Further, he was not found 'guilty' or 'convicted' in the other case. It was a civil case, and OJ was found liable in that case.
