However, I don't think they're the hardened criminal you think they are, you keep using words like arrested, charges, etc. I'm not seeing where you say "convicted" anywhere, and that's an important word. When you go into court they can't say "You were suspected of this, thus your penalty will be harsher."

Nope no link. Just what is being put out there in the papers. Nothing takes away from the fact that the accused had a criminal background that included burglary, theft and gun related crimes. The ages of the accused indicate that they were juveniles when their previous indiscretions occured. Those records are sealed. So that is why you won't see the word "convicted" in the papers.

Now when they are arraigned in Miami, they will make the decision whther or not to try the juveniles as adults. If that happens, you will see those juvenile records opened and we will see what those previous crimes actually were.

Not to mention that juvenile courts are much easier and less stringent on crimes in the hope of rehabilitaion at a young age.
