WTF does this have to do with race? Unless the toddler is black or something that I didn't catch. This is about someone who got no time for a heinous act that could scar that child for life.
The point is that a black kid his age would (rightly) be looking at 20+ years in the slammer right now for something like this.
Yup. One of the most deplorable things about the "entire future ahead of him" defense is that it implies, in the grand scheme of things, that white people are the only ones with a future.
