Allegedly Accountable
As we prepare for our upcoming show remembering Jack Smith we can't help but find ourselves puzzled by many things pertaining to this horrific case. Allegedly the gun that Jack's killer used to take his life was one that was stolen from his mother's boyfriend. Allegedly when this party was going on, that involved around 50 minors, and including the time when Jack's life was taken from him, his mother was home sleeping. Allegedly Jack's murderer was charged with criminal mischief a month prior. Allegedly the only thing that his mother is being charged with is contribution to the delinquency of a minor. Now for the record, we are not involved in this case, we are not lawyers, judges, or anything in between. However, that does not stop us from wondering if justice is being prevailed. We have never met the murderer's mother and therefor cannot form an educated opinion of her whatsoever. However, shouldn't the parent of a minor who killed someone on their property after a night of illegal partying in their house hold more blame?! We have researched several articles about this case and have not found any apologies or remorse documented from the mother (not to say they dont exist and not to say that she has not privately reached out to the victims family.) Are we wrong in thinking that the legal guardian of this murderer is getting off a little easy?

Allegedly sleeping??? No one can sleep with 50 kids in the house unless they are on some narcotics, or passed out drunk. If 50 kids were there, why was she not charged with 50 counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors? and corrupting the morals of minors, child endangerment, is this some type of sick joke? What kind of District Attorneys are there in Colorado? Do they have a law degree? This is a disgrace! What about the other 49 kids that were drinking-they should be charged with that too, it is againsed the law to drink under 21 yrs old there in Colorado right? Well here they loose their liscense for 3 months even if they don't have it yet, and get at least minimum of 48 hrs community service, pay fines, pay lawyers and more if it is not the 1st offense!
ReplyDeleteThis is the District Attorneys fault, they decide what charges to press. Maybe they "know" the family or are related to them somehow. The district attorney should be fired and charged themselves. I believe in mercy with justice, but this is not mercy or justice, it is a disgrace-I say fire the District Attorney for not doing their job, lazy? Too much paperwork?? What is up with that?
