monitor the kid, consider past of the offender, use a metal detector, anger management, stop him/her from getting a gun, have police check up periodically. have police security at the specified times around the specified targets. anger management for the offender,  after a psychological investigation give the offender jail, insane asylum, anger management and eventual release, or death if he/she actually kills someone.\n\nwhat will be done? it is hard to say, probably nothing until it is too late, maybe expulsion?

Yes.  But if the book is about the murder, then the victim's family are able to get the money for restitution.  He can write a book about other things and keep the money.

Think of the perfect murder.  How would you pull it off?  Would you try to make it look like an accident, or make it so there is no evidence (even weapons, an obvious cause of death, etc.).  Next create your hero, and give him some trait that shows how only he could solve the case.  Next, find some way to discover how the crime was pulled off, obviously, no crime is perfect.  This is a pretty good formula to work by, and will give some pretty good results if you're patient.

it depends if you had the intent to kill or not.\n\nIf you had the intent to kill, yes, you could be charged with murder.

You could be charged with obstruction of justice. Hindering a police investigation. Resisting a public officer. Contributing to the deliquency of a minor.  Accessory to assault on a minor.  Accessory to kidnapping. Withholding information.  It all depends on the jurisdiction and if you are found out. Bad business if you ask me. The girl should turn herself in and hope for the best.  Few jurisdictions would excuse the statutory rape charges, so the (boyfriend) is pretty much up the creek without a paddle if charges are pressed.

That all depends on the crime. Some crimes, such as murder, have no statute of limitation, so they can charge someone until they die. Other, lesser crimes are limited, and it depends greatly on the offense.

I think I could if it was to defend my children. This is a tough question.  I would agree with you that most of us are probably capable of it at some threshhold level, but the threshhold is what varies tremendously.  You did not ask "could we murder" another, and that was wise of you b/c most people would answer a resounding "NO!!!" Murder is taking a life with no possibility of it being for any forgivable reason, such as those you list. \n\nIf it was a choice between someone else and my child, and my child was the innocent being threatened by the evil someone else, and it was within my power to stop the evil someone, but to do so I had to kill that person, yes, I believe I would do it, and be thankful that I had been able to do it.\n\nAnd then I would pray very hard for forgiveness, because it would be terrible to have to take another's life, even if you had no choice.

absolutely.. if they are capable of murder, the authoraties need to know before it happens again.  It will be hard, but imagine how much worse you'd feel if they murdered several other people as well, and you had the ability to stop it.

I actually can´t give you a why NOT , If a person is brave enough to commit ADULT like crimes then they should be tried like adult criminals making exemptions will only make them think they can do whatever they want and keep on with a bad behavior and become worse , like here teens under 16 can not go to jail indeed they do whatever they please. a young criminal (26) said he would have prefered to have a severe punishment earlier so he would have learned his lesson now he can be proud of having a large criminal history from drugs to murder.

?  \n\nIf woman KILLS the perpetrator, then the perp is dead, not the woman.  Or are they both dead?\n\nIf the perp is dead, there won't be an arrest. Because he or she is DEAD.  But there will be a criminal reports filed and other legal/court issues.  \n\nIf you want to know how how the woman would defend herself in court, she needs a lawyer, who would most likely plea Self Defense on her behalf.\n\nIf you want to know about Victim Restitution, you have the check the laws for your particular state or country to make the proper applications.

It depends on what state you live in, what sort of plea bargain you work out, your criminal history, etc.

It depends on the prosecution, the family's intentions to file charges, the states. I would say the minimum would be manslaughter and maximum murder. Does he have prior alcohol related accidents or fines-that will be a big factor in his history, or any other driving or drug offenses. I'm sorry for both your families.

innocent to be locked up.  if someone has a propensity for criminal behavior, there is a chance they will meet justice eventually.

Since Michigan law has no minimum age for charging a child as an adult for murder, the maximum would likely be life. Non-violent crime, like the one Amy committed, does not apply, so she would likely not be charged at all, especially if she cooperates.

It depends on the ages of the kids.  Maybe only one was under 16.  Also, lawyers make deals all the time; they may have agreed to reduce the charges in return for a confession (makes their jobs a lot easier).

It, of course, depends on your state's caselaw on the subject.  But, yes, it is possible... again depending on your state.  It won't be done unless there is "extraordinary circumstances".  That being said, if it is done, there is one hell of a good chance that, if convicted, the defendant will have a great appeal.  The prosecutor is a VERY interested party. He or she has a stake in the outcome of the case, and may not be that believable.\n\n-ask the bar association in your state-do not take anything said online as legal advice-
