You’re assuming he has the mind of a child. No evidence to support that thought. In fact, children learn.

I wonder why he failed to learn? i wonder if he had a problem? He should not besentenced as a adult when it seems he has the mind of a child.

I just want to know why was he still in middle school I think that is a story all in its self.

Ok. Maybe my eyes were deceiving me. Did I really read that he was a 16 year old middle school student?

I love you MANMAN?!?!?!? Really? He was Just trying to help his mother, really? He made a choice to be a delinquent. His mother evidently failed him by letting him be a 16 year old MIDDLE SCHOOL student. The reason he can’t get a job is because he can’t list a HIGH SCHOOL on his application, not because of his age. There are many people that joined the workforce and became productive members of society long before the age of 17. All he did was trade one form of government support for another. I am tired of supporting those who are to lazy to do it the right way. Maybe if his family could not instill any values in him, the drill instructors can.

Usually when we judge whether a person s good or bad,smart or dumb our yardstick of comparision is pretty short.Up against a serial killer or rapist this guy looks good….. up against an outstanding law abiding citizen this guy stinks.It is all in what you are using to measure by.

Jesse, the correct formation for that sentence would be “have you ever GONE to school”. One might ask you the same question. Just saying…

Can I say, “Career Criminal”? He should have gotten the fine and the entire requirement of the sentencing for the crime. That’s the problem – give him a break and he thinks the legal system is a joke. The mind set is, “If the judge is dumb enough to let me out in 6 years (he won’t do that much), then he deserves to have me back on the streets doing my thing.” These guys don’t see it as compassion, or getting a break – they see it as weakness to be despised.

Jail time won’t affect the future this young man had – he had already chosen to wreck that on his own. He’s going to have to have a real awakening in order to change his career in life. Not saying it can’t happen, but it’s not likely.

Candace: How can you say this is a good kid? It appears by the article he is a seasoned criminal and if the rest of us can live peacefully and not be harrassed, he is going exactly where he needs to be.

Lett was previous adjudicated as an adult in an unrelated weapons case and sentenced to nine months in the county jail. In October 2010, he was convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted delinquent under 24 years of age, tampering with evidence and culpable negligence. Lett, who was a 16-year old middle school student at the time, traded $40 in marijuana for .22 caliber pistol that was dumped on North Century Boulevard following a traffic stop. A deputy ran over the gun, shooting out his own tire.
