Murder charges expected against teens in Pontiac crime spree:
Reason to Blow Up the World...
Police expect to file murder charges against two 14-year-old boys and a 15-year-old who police say were roving through Pontiac on a three-day crime spree.
The three boys, all Jefferson Middle School students who live in Pontiac, are accused of attacking homeless men and people walking downtown Thursday through Saturday.
One of the homeless men, Wilford “Frenchie” Hamilton, died Monday night at Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital after he was removed from life support.
The boys, who “lawyered up” and aren’t talking to investigators, are being held in the Oakland County Children’s Village, Braddock said.
Hamilton’s beating Thursday night was the first during the spree. Hamilton was found unconscious with head injuries by POH security personnel in an alley behind the hospital’s daycare center. Friday night, another homeless man was beaten so severely, he remains in critical condition at POH, Braddock said. He is expected to live, Braddock added.
Raymond McCowen, the night attendant at the Phoenix Center parking garage at Woodward and Auburn, had heard about the attacks from police. So when a group of boys went running through the structure, he chased them and caught one. Police caught the two other boys a short time later, and the last victim identified the boys as his attackers.
Charge them as adults and give them the max. I don't care if they're just teens. They lose at life.
One point for each beating (4), another point for the murder, another point for thinking you're a bunch of hardcore criminals when you're just some punks. That's six.
