Joint Statement of LGBT Legal and Advocacy Groups
Published 04/14/08
A coalition of 27 groups fighting for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights urged Ventura County prosecutors to try 14-year-old Brandon McInerney in juvenile court, and not as an adult. McInerney was charged as an adult in the February 12 murder of his E.O. Green Middle School classmate, 15-year-old Lawrence King.
LGBT civil rights organizations, including Lambda Legal, delivered the short statement to Ventura County District Attorney Gregory D. Totten.
