AV went to BC with the victim. Knew the family personally. How did she think she was going to get way with it? did she not think they wouldn't tell the police she was was there/involved???? Just looking from the outside, it seems to me she may have been at the wrong place/wrong time. The other girl(20 yr. old) kept looking out the window and eventually let the men in. Reading between the lines....Perhaps AV didn't know they had this robbery planned and got caught up in a situation she shouldn't have been because she was hanging out with the wrong crowd?? And then panicking and running away after the holdup. I'm hoping that's the case at least, and maybe she can make some kind of a deal.
I don't know.....YEESH
I'm just trying to make sense of all this.
But then again a 600K bail?? that's a lot of smoke if there is no fire.
It really is a terrible situation.
northbaybbguru,
600k bail is probably related to the pressure from the family that were victim to the home invasion? How much were the bail amounts for each suspect that was arrested? I think home invasion, kidnapping, and robbery is serious enough to warrant a large bail amount even without pressure from the victims.
It doesn't mean every person charged were definitely a part of the crime. And even if they were, typically the people with the guns, and who physically participated, get a stiffer punishment (unless the police are out to get you personally) than the get away driver or the lookout person who
may have not known the entire plot. As I said prior to this statement, I think some families are better off sending their children to college further away from home. This was probably a case in point.
Unless you have been in negative environments (like some myself included experienced in your childhood)you haven't a clue what type of effects the environment has on you. It's easy to sit back and criticize when the worse thing you experienced in your childhood environment was neighborhood kids toilet papering your home or the police needing to rescue an old ladies cat stuck in the tree. Trust me I've witnessed it first hand and unless you have too you don't have a clue.
It would be like a man trying to say he knows what it is like to be a woman or visa versa. Not that it is making an excuse for the guilty, but I've seen the
innocent myself included
get caught up in the environment. That is why I personally begged my parent ( my single parent mother) to do all she could to get me into a better environment. I was saved because she was able to, but I had to accept collect call after collect call from friends who got caught in the system or attend funerals of friends who were victims of the sin and crime filled negative environments.
Hopefully lessons are learned and young people make better decisions in the future. And everyone should be thankful no one was murdered because you can replace material things, but there's no way to replace a life.
