| Statehouse today Return to index of stories... |
Before attending the sentencing of James Parker and Robert Tulloch, Attorney General Phil McLaughlin attended another hearing at the state house. At issue is whether New Hampshire should be trying 17 year old offenders as adults. Producer Richard Ager has this report. |

Track: The lawmakers began debate with a reminder of the reality of late adolescence. Bite: legislature tape 1 09;48:45 17 is a tumultuous age of unbalanced hormones most people choose to forget about when they become adults. 17 years old is also the highest group of suicides. Track: The proposed bill, which has already passed the House, would redefine delinquents as offenders under 18 - although serious offenders under 18 could still be tried as adults. It would mean an end to cases like the 17 year old with a serious alchohol dependency who recently appeared before Judge Edwin Kelly. bite: legislature tape 2 10:28:36 He was too old obviously to be sent to the Youth Development Center where there are an array of services, he was too old for me to send him into community services, and he was too young for me to send him into a adult rehabilitation facility. so that 17-year old left the courtroom with no services. We are very figuratively throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Track: But police officials take a different view. Bite; legislature tape 1 10:15:20 The 17 year olds that are in jail now, or facing jail potential, have earned where they got, earned what they're being considered for. And we do not take that lightly - those of us who are in a position to help determine and put before the court the information for that consideration. Track: And some police say the juvenile court is not tough enough. Bite: legislature tape 3 11;39:20 We feel the juvenile court system is basically ineffective. There are no real criminal sanctions that are leveled against these juveniles when they are brought before the court. Bite: legislature tape 1 10:01:16 We actually advocated 17 year old years ago. Track: The attorney general said the law as it now stands has failed. Bite: legislature tape 1 10:03:32 There appears to be a cultural resistance on the part of judges - which I think reflects the community as a whole - to sentence 17 year olds, frequently perceived as boys - into the adult penology system. Track: The senate committee also heard from the mother of a 17-year old offender charged under current law. legislature tape 3 11;22:24 I believe if this law hadn't been in effect - my son could have received the proper services. He's doing okay now, but it's been a horrendous year and a half - and he still has overworked probation officers that don't follow through with any of the proper procedures. We've had one home visit for one curfew check, one drug test - since September. Track: The bill is expected before the full senate in the next few weeks. For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |

It was a heart breaking loss for the UNH Hockey as the Maine Blackbears defeated the wildcats seven to two in the semi-finals of the men's NCAA hockey championship. The wildcats started out hot with Sean Collins scoring the games first goal just twenty-one seconds into the game. Maine came back just three minutes later to tie. UNH's Steve Saviano finished out the period with a goal to send the Wildcats to intermission with a 2-1 lead. But it was all Maine after that,, inspired by the loss of their coach Shawn Walsh to cancer last year. |
