How's it goin? I'm Ernest. I'm 15 years old and have never been in any trouble before. In fact, I've been on the honor roll all through high school. But now I've really got trouble. I don't know why I did it, but on a dare from a friend, I borrowed this one neighbor's car. You see, we knew the keys were always in the ignition. Right now, I wish they weren't that day. Anyway, I guess I'm not that great of a driver yet and I accidentally went up over a curb and hit an old lady. Geez, she's my grandma's age, 72, and I hurt her bad! The police and ambulance showed up and I was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. And from what I understand, back in 1997 a law got passed in Arizona where this type of case has to be filed in the adult justice system! Before, I might've gotten time in the juvenile jail or put on probation, but now I'll have to serve 7-1/2 years in adult prison!

Prison and jail are only to rehabilitate people. The way the system just throws numbers out there like that is ridiculous. Yes you were wrong, but, you are not a repeated offender and we all do things that aren't good but don't try to over do the situtation. If your'e an adult than so be it. I don't think it's right for the law to try you as an adult. If you are the age which determines adult or juvenile then you should be tried under that division.

Man, shut up all of you. The guy's been through enough, he doesn't need your "HOPE YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON" stuff. But yeah, it really was a stupid idea, and if they charged you with aggravated assault for an accident, then i don't know if that's the whole story...
