Just into the newsroom... Nicolas Boleware was sentenced to four years juvenile jail. (Two for the killing and two for using the gun...) very excessive years tacked on to ruin this youngster's life permanently.

I hope the judge rots in hell if he did not credit the time already served in that place they have him in. I hope there is an appeal and that the time is significally reduced. It is not fair to not believe in the child. You do when they claim to been touched in an illegal matter but not if they blow them away. To the day he is released, we must make sure any future person does not ever use this against him after his eighteen birthday or tries to keep him longer than what is proscribed in the sentence.

The judge is a rotten man. To force a plea deal from a youngster is nothing but a horror. The victim was asking for trouble with this child and maybe was hurting his mother just like claimed in the 911 call, but this judge obviously believes in using ones word against other people.

(Update: Channel 6 news in Columbus reports that a year was credited to the four years, now down to three I hope. All I hope is the rotten system does not do anything more to stifle this younster's future. We should make some changes to the system here in Ohio to make sure no crime does not ever make it to adult court and to remove from the prosecutor's larder any weapon that would ruin the future oppurtunities of this person or any juvenile. We should also make it easier for juveniles to prove self defense if the conditions of their incident fits a broader definition.)

This is a clear-cut case a small police department doing everything it can to ruin the life of a small boy. They did not let the boy's mother prove that the victim threatened her or let her show that this man abused her and her boy. So be a small town like Sunbury, who had no active police department and let deputy's not familiar with the area or the locals investigate the case, a coroner who might have got it wrong. It is just a small-town mentality that allows women and maybe even men to be battered by their mates. This is a place where kids are battered and if they get back at the abuser they are the ones that go to jail. This is a just a Payton Place and you locals are all a bunch of Big Walnut hypocrites!

There has been a lot of talk and speculation on what happened to Nick and Wendy on the night of the shooting. People have said it was murder. I tell them to stop reading news lines and get to know the people involved. I did. There is no doubt in my mind that what Nick did was the right thing to do. He saved both his life and his moms. Something like this effects everyone not just the "victom" and I use that word loosley. Wendy has lost her son. The little bot that he used to be is gone forever and when he get's out of treatment he will be a different person. She is doing her best to learn to deal with what happened wondering if there was something she could have done to prevent this. What people don't understand is that Wendy has a dependent personality and Jeff took advantage of that. Instead of trying to help her and love her he bought her things so he would be able to take away what she had if she didn't do what she was told. He had a controling personality. People say that Wendy is sick but they don"t talk about Jeff's mental health. The fact that he was bi-polar and liked to drink alcohol with his meds because it made him feel better. They don't talk about all the guns he used to keep in the house or all the times he would use those as a threat. According to his family he was just an innocent that helped the wrong person. There was nothing innocent about him or his mental state. Yes his family lost a son too. Nobody wins in a situation like this. But someone had to stop the violence and that's what Nick did. Now he and Wendy have to live with that for the rest of their lives. They have to explain to everyone who ever get's close to them about what happened. They have to try and have a life with people looking down on them for trying to stay alive. Jeff got off easy. He doesn't have to face anyone anymore. His family has made him a hero. A woman beater and a child abuser. Some hero. Ask yourself one thing. (and saying it wouldn't come to that is not an option). What would you do? If it was you and your son what would you do?

thanks cdennis. I hope Nick will get through this. I don't know the family and truly only know for what the media says, but I beleived Nick when he said it was self defense. We always wonder why children don't ask for help when they are abused, is simple, because sadly people rarely believes them. In my opinion he shouldn't have been convicted, now the only thing we can hope is that in juvenile detention they help him to get through this. I truly hope he does and her mother too.

I also hope he and his legal counsel put this conviction through the appellate courts. For the seriousness of the charges, he should do so in order to have this stricken from his records. He should be able to sue the state if they do give him the same oppurtunities as any person not under the thumb of juvenile detention. Everyone in that kid's life should hold the state accountable if he is warped by the school-to-prision pipeline. For his part, he should fight to clear his name. The merits of self-defense should be established. What that mutant put this woman and her son through was "it was either him or us" situation. The sentence he was put on is excessive whereas many other persons of adult distinction do not really get or expect of the same crime.
