I actually feel really nervous about what is going to happen to these little tryhards: sure- they messed up but it's just doing my head in the torture they are about to receive either way!
You do but jest, of course.
If it was three white boys who shot a Negro and were destined for the Big House where the population is mostly boyz from de hood, then they might have something to worry about.
But two blacks and a mulatto 'wasting' a white?
The defence counsel will plead mitigating circumstances for reasons of ...
1. Their young age.
2. Their borderline-retard IQs.
3. Poor family background .. (yiolence; alcoholism; drug-taking)
4. Remorseful.
5. "Only meant to shoot at his feet to scare him"
6. Two of the three were shocked what the other did.
This last would be my strongest plea to the court.
How many of us have been with a crowd of friends, and one of them does something 'out of the box' that the rest of us disapproves of?
