If you really want to know why these boys ended up doing what they did, you need to take a look at their mother/grandmother. She raised them to think this is the way you take care of problems. Never did she try to encourage them to get an education and try to do right. I wouldn't be suprised if she pumped them up to go and do what they did, telling them, "I wouldn't put up with that" instead of telling them they should have just went and filed assult charges for whoever beat up the JR Roland before this other took place. Yes, they are adults and made this decision, where did they learn this behavior from? Their mother!

I'm no legal expert, but my guess is that since it took them a few days to turn themselves in, they can be considered flight risks. I don't think a judge will issue a bond for something like this, but like I said, I'm no legal expert.

What makes these three any different from those who kidnap two people on a date, rape the girl and the boy, keep the girl hostage and torture her for days after they kill the boy? Or the ones who rape, torture and kill old women? Or the ones who shoot into houses and kill two year olds?
Nobody who is suspected of doing anything like this needs to get bond, not just these three.
Although, if it had been my child they killed I'd want them out on bond.

I agree 100%. I would definately want them out. Wink, wink. Our system is the most screwed up system on the planet. Kill your dad, not guilty. Kill a puppy, 10 to 20.

I know this family. They have a history of violent, bullying behavior. Inciting violence in the name of revenge or some twisted sense of 'family honor' is a way of life for them. One might have hoped that the father and uncle would have learned a little something over the years about actions and consequences since both have been in trouble with the law before (one may not have had problems since his youth so his criminal records may be sealed).
What a shame that human life is of so little value to these people. I'm sure that the rest of their brood are blaming the victim for starting the whole thing instead of blaming the one's who've destroyed not just one young life but four. The victim's life has been snuffed out completely and the other three (including the sixteen yr old involved) will never see the light of day again.
Did they even stop to think about what this would do to their OWN families? What if the victim's family or friends decide to 'retaliate' against these people? (I'm not saying that they would ever stoop to such behavior - but it IS a possibility.) Now that these three are behind bars and out of reach, what if someone decides to exact revenge against some of their family members? Did they ever stop to think about THAT possibility?
I'm sure that the victim's family would never do such a thing, but who knows what people are capable of in this world.

With the influences surrounding the younger assailant, he may actually fair better than his father and uncle. It seems this kid received guidance from at least 2 irresponsible adults, which definitely had an affect on his ability to make sound decisions probably through out his young life. This kid really didn't have a chance from the start it seems from the outside looking in.
The younger accused may receive a lighter sentence because the father and/or uncle will plead in exchange for a reduced sentence/charge for the son; however, the evidence and eyewitness accounts may hurt their chances because they decided to take vengeance with 50 spectators present. How moronic is that?
