Teen sex offender arrested in case involving 3 girls

Yesterday I sat at counsel table next to this 13-year-old. Some commenters on the Daily O's webpage are calling for him to be executed. Read the comments, and you can see why I don't necessarily regret that minors in Washington can't get jury trials.

Yikes.
