13-Year-Old Girl Cops to Capital Murder. Interesting how various outlets are reporting this one. A boyfriend and girlfriend from Garland. Both are 13 years old. Boyfriend and girlfriend. The boy shoots and kills the girl’s mother and stepfather. He gets 28 years; she gets 20. The Morning News says, “Dallas Morning News does not name those convicted of juvenile crimes.” The AP goes one step further to protect the murderers: “The Associated Press is not reporting their exact relationship [to the victims] in an attempt to protect the identities of the minors.” Do these teenagers really deserve to have their identities protected? Is the notion that any murderer who is so young must himself be a victim of his own actions? I don’t get it.

Medrano Family Member Indicted for Voter Fraud. Justice of the Peace Carlos Medrano won his job by a little more than 100 votes, unseating Luis Sepulveda. And now we know why. A grand jury has indicted a niece of Medrano’s, 21-year-old Raquel Medrano, for living in Mesquite yet registering in Dallas and voting here. Another of his nieces, Veronica Medrano, did the same thing. She says she was coerced by her uncle to do it. And the guy still has his job why?
