Fact not mentioned at the conference: The image shown is from an episode of The Simpsons (transcript), in which Bart is accused of ordering the death of Principle Skinner, who has disappeared. Defended by sleazebag attorney Lionel Hutz, Bart is convicted and faces 180 years in prison. Mr. Burns is heard gloating to Smithers: "Thank God we live in a country so hysterical over crime that a ten-year-old child can be tried as an adult."

“I very much need to speak with someone from this site. Finding it seems to be a Godsend to me. My son, who I sent to live with his father, a Las Vegas attorney two and one half months ago, is now "in the system". I need some advise desperately. Thank-you.” — A very frightened Mom 1/24/07

“I think juveniles should face the consequences of their actions” — Santiago Vaca 3/14/07
