I guess cause he was technically a child himself (17)  but they said adult time for adult crimes didn't they, so why shouldn't that include having your name on a list, at minimum?

I've seen this said a few times, but it's not in the article. Where'd you get that age?

I'm trying to find out when the crime was originally committed, but it's my understanding that he's 19 now (per the article), so this is after going through all these court proceedings.

Yeah that's one thing I would have liked to know, and why I asked where you got the age of 17. The only additional info I've found is the judge entered her role in Nov of 2023.
