14 y/o NJ cop killer can't be tried as an adult

Time to change the law.

Joseph Azcona — a five-year member of the force who was working a gun probe with federal authorities — didn’t stand a chance during the ambush, which left him mortally wounded after the kiddie shooter allegedly unloaded a stream of 29 bullets.

He’s accused of killing a Newark cop — but he won’t be tried in public and likely won’t even serve out a 20-year sentence if convicted.

That’s because the suspected triggerman is a 14-year-old boy — and in New Jersey, the courts won’t move kids of that age up to criminal court, no matter how heinous their crimes.

“The state statute requires somebody to be 15 years old to treat it as an adult case,” said Laura Sutnick, a criminal defense lawyer

That's a stupid law.

Treat him as a rabid animal instead.

Hand him over to animal control for euthanasia.

Anybody remember the Clint Eastwood movie called The Gauntlet? Give it a bicycle and tell it to ride out of town.

UFB. I tried to figure out a sarcastic comment but there isn't any. Inject him with a # 9mm needle.

Their biggest mistake was taking him into custody.
When a person shoots 29 bullets at police officers, the officers should not stop shooting until the shooter is on a slab.
