Wow...that says it all! What do you think is a suitable sentence for home inavasion, kidnapping, theft, obstruction of justice? At least 10 years...what do you think...more? These people should be locked up forever.
Nonetheless, I assume that - given your reputation - you wouldn't want a white person to serve such a harsh sentence.
good chances they wont do any time at all, maybe a month or two at most would be my guess. First of all they are minors, secondly we have a jail overcrowding problem and a lot of people get probation before they actually do time, especially if they plead guilty in court.
In a real Home Invasion there is terror involved where you usually get some one threatening you with bodily harm or worse. Or you actually get physically assaulted.
There is also forced entry and kidnapping involved.
In this case the girl was the baby sitter, so no forced entry and its not kidnapping because she had permission to be in the house by the girls parents. She told the little girl to go outside while they were stealing all the stuff.
All that considered they probably dont do time if their parents buy them a really good lawyer. The only thing is the obstruction of justice charge when she lied to the police officers. dont know what the penalty for that usually is but it probably depends on whether
the obstruction accurs in or out of court.
The kids should be charged with robbery and lying to an officer but if you want them charged with actual home invasion I think your off base because home invasion laws are
designed to be harsh specifically to protect citizens from violent crime.
