I don't have to "win" to be "right".
Kids are kids or they are not. You can't have it both ways. Bring that to me as a juror and a not guilty on all charges is what you will get.
You would probably not get on a jury here as you would not be impartial. Both sides want impartial jurors. By the way, juveniles who commit petty crimes don't get a jury trial, often they have charges diverted through a diversion program and charges dismissed. They never have a jv record.
