Update on Milton Academy Hockey Hummers

One of the five boy hockey players has hired a famous Boston defense attorney to defend them if necessary. Among attorney Tracy Miner's clients is the infamous FBI agent James Connelly who was implicated in the "Whitey" Bulger (click on Whitey Watch) FBI case in Beantown.

The liberty blog reports on an aspect of the incident I missed in previous reports. It seems that some of the boys were probably pretty quick on the trigger. I wonder if there were some fluffers involved.

Anyway, I guess I understand the academy's point about the five to one ratio, but using the famous parental logic statement, "If these five boys jumped off a bridge, would you follow them
also?"

And if they did, would the boys all have committed suicide and the girl be a victim of homicide committed by the already dead boys because they convinced her to do it?

Actually come to think of it and given how quick the boys were, perhaps the better parental advice would have been, "Watch out! You'll shoot your eye out!"

Unless the boys threatened this girl with physical violence or true mental anguish to do the dirty deeds, I am having a hard time seeing how the D.A. will be willing to prosecute this one.

Also, one must wonder about the culpability of the school. How did they allow this to happen on their campus?
