> ? Probably not, if you're talking about her actual offenses and not simply "assault" and "theft" in the abstract. There is no "Probably". This is a statement of fact. The crimes were serious enough that they justified a prison sentence. The criminal was trialed, found guilty by a jury, and sentenced. Just because the criminal was put on probation that doesn't mean the crimes committed by the criminal weren't serious offenses. |

Either I'm missing something or you must be confused. It's extremely unlikely that a young teenager would be sent to "prison" in the US for the crimes that landed the girl in the article, "Grace," on probation. I used the word "probably" only to account for unlikely possibility that, given the variation in sentencing across US jurisdictions, a place exists where this might occur.

This is obviously untrue. Did you read the article or any of the related news coverage? Grace's crimes were not punishable by a prison term.
> The criminal was trialed, found guilty by a jury, and sentenced.
Where are you getting this false information? Grace was not tried and found guilty by a jury. In fact, she wasn't even tried in a regular courtroom - this entire process took place in family court. [1] For reference - out of almost 24,000 2018 Michigan family court cases involving juvenile offenders, less than 0.01% went to trial (of those, only 12 - 0.0005% - were jury trials). [2]
Why are you making this stuff up?
1 - Family courts exist to solve legal problems involving youth and their parents.
