This is terrible. May God bless this young girl's family.
I just know that this story will be all over MSNBC and CNN for weeks and weeks.
Not likely. The girl was murdered by two black teenagers and the victim was white. That's a big no-no with the mainstream media who prefer to hype black victims of white crime.
Oh, he liked bikes. And he stole them....oh oh oh and she had a bike! Eureka, we've got our motive!
That is not a motive, the prosecution better not go to court with something so weak. They would be better off going for the racially motivated hate crime than 'it was for her huffy'.
His FATHER noted that his sons STOLE BIKES..
Several kids in his school, in his neighborhood and one of his close friends that was IN THE HOUSE they lured her to stated that the younger brother was known to steal bikes.... and that he traded parts with him regularly!
And this is just initial news....if the locals are spilling out about this stuff already wait til it gets tried.
These kids are dead to rights.
Bottom line...bike or not...they killed a 12 year old girl.
The boys father told The Star-Ledger of Newark earlier Tuesday that he was interviewed about his sons' involvement in Autumn's disappearance.
Alonzo Robinson said his sons were known for stealing bikes in the neighborhood and police told him they found bike parts stockpiled in the basement. He said one of the boys had been previously charged for theft.
"I think someone wanted the girl's bicycle," Robinson said. "Maybe she wanted her bike and resisted, and one of them snatched her off a bike."
If they come to the conclusion that it wasn't because they wanted her bike and she saw something they shouldn't have saw...
What difference does this make? What bearing does it have?
The victim and her family are owed some closure and a true understanding of what happened. I do not buy that they killed her for a bike, that is ridiculous. Call me naive, but how anyone can casually come to that conclusion, I find disturbing.
Hundreds of people get murdered everyday so I don't know why this case is deemed more tragic than any other murder case.
