[Font size=10] Defendant's parent uses victims last name in open court [/Font size]

If anyone finds an alternate please feel free to post it and I'll update my OP.

Edit: CNN has said they will cut when the verdict is read.

Edit 2: CBS covering the trial live now: http://www.cbsnews.com/2718-201_162-1950/cbs-news-live-video/?tag=custom

Edit 3: ABC http://abcnews.go.com/live

Edit 4: Verdict of delinquency, both are found guilty.

Edit 5: Judge for Richards is arguing against confinement.

Edit 6: Both defendants are asked by the judge if they want to say anything and apologize in court.

Edit 7: Parent's of both defendants are speaking. Richard's father identifies the victim's parent's name is court.

Edit 8: Judge talking about disposition and charges

Edit 9: Sentencing Richards: 1 year or up until 21 years old. Mays: 2 years consecutive or up until 21. Both defendants must have sex offender treatment, register as a sex offender, and stay away from the victim. The defendants must pay the court costs. Defendants are credited with time served.

I'm not exactly sure I've got the sentences right, it came out quick.

Edit 10: Corrected sentence. The release is up to the juvenile system whether they are released before they are 21. (last edit)
