Thanks for the update, ScientistsCanvas.
The 15 year old brother is the one who admitted to luring Autumn to the house and strangling her, in adult court. He got 17 years under a plea deal; formal sentencing to be handed down next month. Not long enough, IMO.
The 17 year old brother was also charged with murder, but his case is still pending in juvenile court.
The senselessness of this crime still affects me; kids killing a friend for bicycle parts. The thought of the killers being out of prison in their early thirties (or sooner) is disturbing.
I guess the best one can do is hope that there's some rehabilitation possibility, though that hope doesn't seem to translate into reality in the vast majority of cases (given the re-offender stats).
