Another unarmed 17-year-old is shot dead -- this time, charges come quickly [View all]

But, then again, it's on the north and the victim is white. So, I don't expect Fox News and radio talkers to climb over themselves to defend this shooter (the kid's grandmother):

A 74-year-old woman has been charged with open murder in the shooting death of her 17-year-old grandson.

Sandra Layne was arraigned Monday afternoon in 48th District Court.

WWJ Newsradio 950′s Marie Osborne reported the petite elderly woman was wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackles as the judge ordered her held without bond. She did not look at the judge or attorneys but instead waved and blew kisses to her husband.

Police said Jonathan Hoffman was killed late Friday afternoon in his grandparents’ West Bloomfield Township home, where he lived.
