Progress in the Joe Augustin case

[geeshnu]

Teens' trial set for late October

So, basically . . . Joe was beaten and robbed so that two kids could go to McDonalds? Wow. I don't know if they deserve twenty years (and I don't know that Joe would believe so, either), but I'm definitely disgusted.

if the guy isn't in critical condition i don't think twenty years because theres ppl who actuelly kill and rape ppl that are only in for five years when they should be in for life but still something better happen to those stupid ass kids

Odds are, even if they do get 20-50 years they'll probably get out quite early due to parole/prison population problems/good behavior, etc. I agree, though, that they deserve quite a bit more than a slap on the wrist.
