More details will be forthcoming, YarnAddict Aug 2013 #5

I've read a few different articles on this JustAnotherGen Aug 2013 #6

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions YarnAddict Aug 2013 #7

He could be JustAnotherGen Aug 2013 #11

He doesn't look Caucasian to me either. LisaL Aug 2013 #26

I agree JustAnotherGen Aug 2013 #36

Well his mother is certainly white as shown in the several photos of her outside of court. nt kelliekat44 Aug 2013 #65

That's the mother of 16 year old. Not Jones's. LisaL Aug 2013 #70

I had to go to an Austraian news source JustAnotherGen Aug 2013 #8

I was just reading that first link. Somewhat biased. joshcryer Aug 2013 #10

He didn't admit his guilt in court. LisaL Aug 2013 #28

Do you have a link? joshcryer Aug 2013 #30

The CBS article I linked YarnAddict Aug 2013 #20

They must be quoting him wrong. LisaL Aug 2013 #54

A few things- but I thought all 3 were black? Lee-Lee Aug 2013 #22

Probably treestar Aug 2013 #52

trying not to jump to conclusions, but I wondered, too, why the younger 2 magical thyme Aug 2013 #55

He wasn't charged with discharging a firearm. LisaL Aug 2013 #56

you're probably right...I read it at work, so either misread or, more likely, magical thyme Aug 2013 #60

NBC news has repeatedly written he's charged with firing a weapon magical thyme Aug 2013 #61

He isn't charged with firing a weapon. Because it's not alleged her fired a weapon. LisaL Aug 2013 #68

I realize that. sorry you don't care the NBC news is the media reporting it wrong. magical thyme Aug 2013 #78

One of the 3 suspects was white? Quantess Aug 2013 #57

If the victim was black it would not be a national story LordGlenconner Aug 2013 #58

If victim wasn't from Australia, it might have not been a national story. LisaL Aug 2013 #59

Oh my God... Number23 Aug 2013 #62

You can go with whatever you want. LisaL Aug 2013 #80
