I wish I could read the link but all AL government sites block me from opening from another country.Alabama Criminal Code - Reckless Murder
So, I am not familiar with the Alabama legal code but my reading of this is that I think if LE determined that the accused went to the party with the intent to kill “Joe Smith”,and if Joe Smith was one of the deceased, they would be charged with First Degree murder?
LE knows that the 3 accused went to a party and shot the place up and may not know the specific intent at this time.
Anyone familiar with the Alabama legal code care to weigh in on this?
I had to look this up because using the word “reckless” to describe the murder of four teens and the wounding of 32 others just seems so inadequate.
Alabama has had a serious problem with drug cartels for years.It is likely this is drug related, but I doubt any person involved with this is part of a cartel. It may be related to gang distribution of drugs at the retail level.

However, the last two AL lethal injections where pretty gnarly so the Governor presently has executions on hold due to the problems with lethal injections being cruel and unusual punishment.

His football career is done. She is in denial but that is pretty common with parents who provide dysfunctional homes for their children. I don't believe it is the kids' fault. I think lack of a father figure, poverty, lack of family support system do take a serious toll.Johnny's mum is in denial. And it sounds as if he just ruined a promising future for himself.
These poor families, all of them. I wish these killers would stop and think what they are doing to their own families (as well as everybody else and their families).
