9-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Stabbing Her Best Friend by Supersonicdarky on 10-10-2005 at 01:46 PM
quote:
"Me and Queenie was playing ball," said Jane Pearl, 9. "We started fighting. I grabbed the knife. She was standing near to me. I know the knife is dangerous. I jabbed it in her direction. It went into Queenie," she sobbed as her lawyer comforted her. Jane, with her family watching, refused the right to a trial and pleaded guilty to 2nd deg. manslaughter in the slaying of her 11 year old friend. When asked if she had anything else to say she said yes and cried "I'm sorry!" sobbing uncontrollably. "Maybe she was sorry. Her and Queenie were friends for a long time," said Queenie's grandmother. "It still doesn't bring Queenie back, no matter how sorry she was." Jane will have psychiatric evaluation before she is sentenced.
these stories about kids just get worse and worse...

I would let her off, this would ruin her life from word go and she is sorry and the age says it all 
RE: 9-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Stabbing Her Best Friend by user27089 on 10-10-2005 at 03:16 PM
How can you really know that though, how do you know that she is trully sorry, regardless if she is 9 years old, children like that can have secrets and lie, can't you rembemer being that age... Her whole life won't be ruined, she will have to pay for what she did, and once she is out, she'll be about 18 I would say, and get some qualifications etc, because she will be old enough for college...
RE: 9-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Stabbing Her Best Friend by saralk on 10-10-2005 at 04:01 PM
she will get qualifications in her detention centre, as they still teach the people there. A lot of people who go to youth detention centres turn out to be very smart and succesful.

I'm not sure. Just because she said sorry, she still killed someone.

Hardly. At age 9 ones mind is still developing at a rapid rate. At age 9, I doubt that a child knows how much damage a knife can do to someone. Yes, she probably knew it would hurt her friend, but I seriously doubt that she knew it would actually kill her. I doubt her intentions were to kill her friend, but to stop her friend from trying to get the ball.
I do believe I've read this story a few months back

Agreed.... her whole life is screwed if she gets put in detention center... The only thing she'd get outta that would be an education. She's never learn how to make friends... and the only friends she'd get were people who were down the wrong road in life in the first place... At nine years old she has a lot to learn... not just math, and core subjects like that, but she still needs to learn things about life... Including that what she did was wrong...

Disagree... She did kill the person... I think there's still an easier type of charge that they could've charged her with (am I wrong). They should've given her the least harsh charge, that way she could spend the least amount of time, but still get her "time out"... as a nine year old would say.
RE: 9-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Stabbing Her Best Friend by brian on 10-11-2005 at 02:03 AM
It gives you 165 damage in the back with one stab; and in the face or any part, 65 for each hit, so if you knife someone, better off knifing him from the back!

i think she doesnt know the magnitude of what she did...
but omg... a 9 yr old...
RE: 9-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Stabbing Her Best Friend by myrtle on 10-11-2005 at 08:23 AM
reminds me of 6 yr old Michael Myers in Halloween who killed her elder sister.

legally she can not be committed of a criminal offense, or have it placed on her criminal record.
3 elements are required to prove such a crime. Mens Rea, Actus Reus, and Causation.
A child less than 10 in judged to not to be able to have the element of mens rea (The guilty mind. i.e they conciously knew what they were doing) and therefore any case must be dismissed by the judge / jury

TBH we dont know the circumstances so we cant really blame the parents..i doubt the child wanted to kill her and i think this will probably affect her, and affect the rest of her life....

Let me ask you this, how come in alot of "discussions" I've seen you say "only in America" or something in means of that? I mean, it's not just Americans doing things like this. Look at the idiot a while back who took an ax to someones head for stealing a beer. I could go on about stories that happen that are bizare as this that happened in other countries.
Back on topic now...
How can you blame the parents, or to say that they let the child play with knives? I mean, we all forget things, and maybe the parents forgot to put a knive away. True, you should be more carefull when you leave things out that children are playing by. But it's not everyday you see a child pick up a knife and stab someone. Sure, the child knew what she was doing is wrong, but do you think she know the consequences of her actions? Do you think that every mother sits down with her child, gets a knive and shows the child the knive and explains what could happen if you tried to harm someone with it? Maybe they do, but I highly doubt they know what it means or can comprehend the extent of the damage it can do.
RE: 9-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Stabbing Her Best Friend by SikStyles on 10-12-2005 at 02:21 AM

it makes more sense that shes 9, because as she said she just knows that a knife is dangerous and probably just wanted to scare/threaten her.

i'm not saying that they should explain every single part, but IMO a kid should know that things cut and does damage. broken glass, guns, and yes, KNIVES. it's not hard. then fucking do it.
