If you have guns and violence, you are going to end up with even more totalitarianism...
...individual for the waiver of a constitutional right," wrote Judge Harold Tyler, "or a greater threat posed for choosing to assert it, any waiver may be said to have been extracted in an impermissible manner." The judges ruled unconstitutional that part of the act that imposes a "Hobson's choice." Instead, the boy may choose to be treated as a juvenile, and may have a jury trial-"if he so desires...
