  She's being tried as an adult for a science project that lead to a small explosion, and is getting expelled. She was a straight A student with no bad track record. What do you think about this? Should she be tried as an adolescent, or at all? Was her intent to cause a chemical reaction a way for police to justify this? Should the expulsion and felony charge be dropped?

  I find it screwed up that we (American's) are still arguing over gun rights and possible punishments for breaking them meanwhile we have a harmless student who is being charged as an adult. I think our judicial system needs to start realizing which possession-of-weapon related crimes are valid and which aren't. Right now it seems as if that line is completely blurred. Hopefully that can be fixed.
