A defense lawyer is calling for calm after death threats have been made against teenagers charged in the death of 15-year-old Phoebe Prince, who committed suicide after she was allegedly bullied by schoolmates.
"Not to minimize what happened to Phoebe Prince in any way, but translating this into death threats and public harassment has got to stop," says Colin Keefe, who represents Sharon Chanon Velazquez, accused of tormenting Prince, who hanged herself on Jan. 14.
"It's gotten way out of control," adds Keefe, who says Velazquez has been driven temporarily from her home.

“. . . has got to stop.” His client is doomed. Never have an illiterate in the role of your criminal defense lawyer.

Kind of sounds like the shoe is now on the other foot...Now they know maybe a little of what their victim went through and it’s just beginning for them....

That is exactly what I was thinking! How does it feel to have the same thing you did to her happen to you?
To: Niuhuru
Tough. My family went through this same thing for 4 years. It changed everything. I have no sympathy.

Since they won’t get the death penalty, this is just as good. Bad to the point of being driven from her home.

The comments are pretty great coming as they are from people my age. Shows how enraged so many people are and it’s heartening.

When the lawyer was asked exactly why the death threats needed to be stopped, he said:
“Well, c’mon now, do you know how hard it is to get payment from a dead client?”

Maybe someone should send her enough rope to ease her pain.

Not sure what your age is. I’m glad people are outraged. This same thing happened to us back in 1989. It went on for 4 years. The principal was “boys will be boys” and the police said if we filed charges, it would get worse. This incident caused me to start researching and investigating to find the cause. As a result, I started the first anti-feminist yahoo group 12 years ago. However, I still remain an advocate of education, not legislation. Slippery slope.

Gee I wonder if any of theses lil’ darlins’ are starting to feel suicidal from all the bullying...sucks when that stuff comes back 100 fold.
To: Tex-Con-Man
It’s only a matter of time until one of them breaks and saves taxpayer money. I just know that some of them are not going to make it to the trial without at least attempting something.

And I’m 58. You are younger than my youngest child, but you understand, and for that, I am grateful. Kudos.
