In a follow-up to the previous post I made on this subject, the second teen who killed a 12 year old white girl was released after being charged with "obstruction":
By way of background, facebook pictures linked the girl to the two teens. She was last seen riding her bike near their house and her bike was found in their basement along with other stolen bike parts and her body was in their garbage bin. Oh, they had her backpack too. The Camden County prosecutor (a heavy minority district) made a deal with the second brother and gave him a 17 year sentence with the possibility of parole after 85 percent served. He let the other brother go today. The prosecutor said he did not have enough evidence to take either teen to trial. This is 1000 X worse than the Travon Martin case, IMO.
Last month Justin Robinson, now 16, pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter after taking sole responsibility for luring the pre-teen to his house and strangling her.
He was sentenced on Sept. 12 to serve 17 years in state prison of which 85 percent, or about 14 years, must be served before he is eligible for parole.

What you and the article fail to disclose is the second teens involvement in the crime. What was his role?
Just for clarity. The brother convicted for 17 years is the primary brother, the second brother is the one recieved the ejudicated reslease.
I don't know the whole story but it seems to me that justice was served... the murderer got 17 years, the other brother who didn't commit the murder got an obstruction charge... who knows what the story is, was the other brother even involved? Did he only find out after the fact? Seems to me, the attorneys thought so... and it seems plausible...
