CA Juvenile Law Ignores Victims:  On September 30, CA Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1391, which eliminates the ability to try defendants under the age of 16 as adults and sentence them to prison. Previously, prosecutors could request to transfer 14- and 15-year-olds to adult court if they were charged with a serious offense, such as murder, arson, robbery, rape or kidnapping.  A post released today by Michele Hanisee, head of the Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys Association, describes what this new law means to victims who have been brutalized by the worst juvenile offenders.  She notes that it is quite rare for a defendant under 16 to be tried as an adult, but that in some cases there should be no alternative.  The proponents of this bill described these defendants as "children."  Read about the rape Ms Hanisee describes and decide if that description is accurate.
