THE WHOLE STORY

"Also, there are reports the U.S. Justice Department is planning to get involved in the case and pursue possible civil rights violations."

Curious why this case is only being handled in juvenile court?

Is it up to the judge to send it to adult court or that it is worth of being charged as adults? Even though they are 16 they are considered minors and so that would land them automatically in juvenile court i believe and then, i think the judge or someone but i think it's the judge decides if they are charged as adults. I think they should be charged as adult, party like adults do, act as adults do then get adult time but i don't know what the hold up is.
