Ohio teens given suspended sentence for dropping sandbag off overpass that killed man
Yahoo! ^ | 04/07/18 | Mark Osborne

The four Ohio teens who pleaded guilty to dropping a sandbag off a freeway overpass that killed a 22-year-old man were given a suspended sentence and ordered to a treatment center on Friday.

Marquis Byrd was the passenger in a vehicle that was hit by the sandbag dropped onto Interstate 75 in Toledo last December. Byrd was left in critical condition and died three days later in the hospital.

The four teens, all aged 13 or 14, pleaded guilty to either murder or manslaughter. The boy who dropped the sandbag pleaded guilty to murder while the other three pleaded to involuntary manslaughter, the Toledo Blade reported. The teen who pleaded guilty to murder was sentenced to the Department of Youth Services until he turns 21, while the teens who pleaded guilty to manslaughter were sentenced to three years in the Department of Youth Services.

All four sentences were suspended by the judge in favor of being sent to Toledo's Lucas County Youth Treatment Center.

"It's a treatment facility, for certain services, to provide so these boys change their behavior and can become productive members of our community," Judge Denise Navarre Cubbon said.

The decision to suspend the teens' sentences and send them to the treatment facility drew outrage from Lillian Diallo, the Byrd family's lawyer, who called the decision "outrageous."

"Suspended what? If you do what? So eight months you get to go home?" Diallo told Toledo ABC station WTVG outside the courtroom following the sentencing. "This child will never be at home. His son will never see him. His mother will never be able to say, 'Hey son, how are you? How's your day?' Touch his face, see his face. This is outrageous."

That tells the story.
Check her green card.

Send her to prison for life to make up for letting the 4 killers walk.

“Judge Cubbon advocates taking a holistic approach by encouraging community involvement.”

I guess these are buzz words for “just setting them free without any punishment!”

A litterbug would have gotten a harsher sentence. Life is cheap especially to a looney left judge.

Murderers treated like they jaywalked. Pathetic. The judge proves that you can be a moron and be a judge.

Thanks

Freepers are headline or first paragraph sorts

I’m ambivalent

These kids were pretty young

If they didn’t intend to kill dropping a sandbag then murder is at least to me a reach

But for the sake of the victims family I’d be pissed

Whoever dropped the bag should at least have gone to reform school for a couple years

Tide Pod munching, condom snorting teenagers. Old enough to demand the repeal of the Bill of Rights but too young to be convicted and sent to prison for murder. I don’t get up. Maybe Hogg boy and his band of feral teenyboppers are right. Adults are too ****ing old and retarded to run the country anymore.

Is he a Teen or is he a white guy?

As soon as I saw the headline, I assumed he was a Teen.

True. But as long as officials of the justice system feel free to do this kind of thing with impunity, the atrocities will continue.

“A” sandbag? All 4 dropped one sandbag?

This was your question, no? I answered and responded to your question; Did you not think there is a possibility more than one object was thrown? Which would mean they were all doing it at the time, but only one found it's mark.

And since you implied you already knew the answer to your own question, then it was you who answered your own question, not I.

IMHO dropping a sandbag down on a speeding car sure seems to meet the usual legal definition of either 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.

They killed an innocent person but get treated by the judge as if they were caught stealing a candy bar.
