@CrimsonTide14... No one is disputing that the law IS on the books, what is being pointed out is how this incident illuminates just how ABSURD that law is... No one is defending the criminality of those three habitually offending teens either, they DESERVE to be charged with BURGLARY, but MURDER ??? ... What amazes me is the macho deer-hunter mentality of some of the citizenry about this: "Oh well, that stupid teenager shouldn't have been breaking into a fish-camp; she deserved to lose her life." ... To ME, it's almost incomprehensible that someone could have such a lackadaisical disregard for human life! ... Yes, she made a mistake, not unlike many other teenagers her age make; did she deserve to DIE for it? ... Paaleeeze! ... The felon who pulled the trigger is guilty of manslaugher as a MINIMUM!... The teens are guilty of burglary, nothing more.

Grand juries aren't lawyers and don't necessarily know the law. In fact, most are from the voter's rolls and with that fact it's safe to say most grand jurors are about as dumb as your average pet rock, especially a Mobile voter with all of its 'diversity.' 'Warning shots' are not recognized in law as far as I know. The police don't fire warning shots. When they pull their pistols they either give an order and expect a certain behavior or they shoot someone. They certainly don't fire 'warning shots.' I don't fire warning shots either and I've had to draw down on criminals on three occasions. Although in the first, my skull was fractured, I didn't pull the trigger. The sight of my pistol was enough to stop their felonious behavior. Same goes for the second occasion although I got the drop on the criminals before they could cause me bodily harm. They decided to change their behavior and rather quickly. The man who should be held responsible is the man who pulled the trigger; a felon as I understand it convicted in federal court for cocaine trafficking. If I'm wrong correct me. When did Alabama begin to allow felons to possess firearms? Who does that man know that as a felon he can shoot a girl in the head and walk free?

Jay needs to spend more time researching the laws on the books and spend less time ranting for the criminals. The Grand jury knows what the laws are and they decided to indict the three teens for murder. The teens initiated the entire tragedy and one of them even had a gun and ammo on the crime spree they planned and executed. In the US a person or persons that are committing a felony and a person dies as a result of that felony the persons or persons can be charged with the death of a person. It's cut and dry, the teens are the culprits here and asked yourself what would have happened if they decided NOT to burglarize the fish camps that fateful night? This ain't their first rodeo of committing felonies like burglary, these 3 have multible charges pending from breaking into several other places of business and stealing peoples stuff. Send these 3 punks to prison for a few dozen years and maybe they'll learn a valuable lesson.

First of all, a "warning shot" is fired OVER someone's head, not THROUGH it... The teens, however mailicous in their activity, were FLEEING when fired upon; Summer Moody was fatally injured by a known criminal/ sociopath. If you see someone beaking into a neighbor's home, CALL THE POLICE. If you take it upon yourself to intervene and fatally shoot an intruder, you may be in BIG trouble; life is more precious than property. There is little difference in THIS situation... Second, to charge these teens with MURDER while the shooter goes unpunished is ABSURD, an abomination of justice regardless of the intent of the law. Justice for the murder of Summer Moody will be served when the SHOOTER is punished, NOT the teens.

I thought Hallie Dixon said before that the men who actually shot Summer Moody in the head could not be charged for murder because the shooting was just a horrible accident. Seems to me Ms. Dixon needs to make up her mind; was it a horrible accident or murder. The three teenage boys should not be charged with murder or blamed for a death the District Attorney has already said was a horrific accident; especially if the convicted felons who actually pulled the trigger are not culpable in any way.
