so I don't know how much they are gonna let this fall on him.
I hope not much, because he should not have to be required to carry that burden.

and we also don't know if that story is true.

Lee Merritt told the press that the boy told him that he had wanted to go to the window, but the aunt wouldn't let him.
This could have been the little boy and not her. ugh. It's bad enough.

it's unknown, at this time where the gun was...and if it can't be proven...a judge may not later allow it...we'll see.
