Court Junkie

In August 2014, a tragedy unfolded at a playground in Kentwood, Michigan. A 9-year-old boy was deceased, and a 12-year-old boy was charged with murder.  How did this happen, and what would the criminal justice system do with such a young killer? Thank you to Vicki Seidl, from the Kent County Prosecutor’s Office, for speaking with me about this case.  Sponsors in this episode: - Care/Of - Court Junkies can get 50% off your first Care/of order, when you go to TakeCareOf.com and enter code junkie50. - Thrive Market - Go to ThriveMarket.com/COURTJUNKIE.
