Two teens found guilty in Ohio rape case

I was talking about this a little to my husband last night along with the 16 year old murder case. Another accident involving the youth. This is really getting to be a more common thing for the teens to feel free to throw their lives completely away. In regards to the story being so long, I copied, and pasted some parts making it shorter, but feel free to Google it, and get the full story. (CNN) -- Two high school football players were convicted Sunday in an Ohio rape case that gained worldwide attention through, and then focused on, social media. In a trial that divided the football-crazed Rust Belt town of Steubenville, Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16, were found guilty of raping a drunk 16-year-old girl. The case attracted the attention of bloggers -- and even the loosely organized hacking group, Anonymous -- who questioned everything from the behavior of the football team to the integrity of the investigation. Judge Thomas Lipps announced his decision after reviewing evidence presented over four days of testimony in the case against Mays and Richmond, who were tried as juveniles.... Mays was sentenced to a minimum of two years in a juvenile correctional facility. Richmond was sentenced to a minimum of one year, but like Mays, he could be in detention until he is 21. The Department of Youth Services will rule whether the two boys will be detained longer, Lipps said, adding it will depend on their behavior and rehabilitation. The two will be required to register as sex offenders and undergo treatment while in detention. Lipps said he would postpone a hearing into which sexual offender registration category they will be classified until the end of their incarceration. Mays and Richmond, who will be credited for the time they served before the trial, were also ordered to stay away from the victim until they are 21. Richmond's father told CNN that his son was doing OK. "I told Ma'lik to put all his trust in God. God will see him through this," Nate Richmond said. "I told him that I love him, basically. And to be strong." In court, Ma'lik Richmond apologized before breaking down in tears. "I had no intention to do anything like that," he said. "And I'm sorry to put you guys through this." Mays apologized to the families involved..... August'Lamarr-... It's a lot more to the story, but my take on all of this, I don't feel sorry for etha of them, I mean lets be real about this, and it's no way I would have been the mother, and or father in the court room in shame, and embarrassment. Specially if as a Parent I did all I could do in raising my children the right way. True sometimes no matter the efforts. Things will still go a stray, but this is two cases where a night of fun for them turn into now a life time of Pain, and Regrets. It won't be the first, and it damn sure wont be the last. We have to be smarter then this.
