The two Negro teen brothers,who beat a man to death for refusing their request for a dollar,have been charged.This incident took place at the Frederick fair grounds in Maryland.The teen who threw the punch that killed John Marvin Weed was charged with manslaughter.



FREDERICK, Md. (WJZ) — A judge ordered two teenagers to remain in custody for an attack that left a man dead at the Great Frederick Fair in September.

The state filed waiver petitions to move the cases to adult court, canceling the hearing set for October 22.

The 15-year-old boy has now been charged with manslaughter, first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault, and his brother, the 16-year-old, has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault.

The judge set a waiver hearing date for November 19 for both teens.

“Even though we couldn’t charge them as adults, we felt that based upon our review and detectives investigation, that they should be tried as adults,” Frederick County State’s Attorney Charlie Smith said.

Police responded to the Great Frederick Fair at around 5:36 p.m. on September 20 about an assault of a 59-year-old man. John Marvin Weed of Mount Airy was flown to R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore but later died of his injuries.

The 15-year-old teen allegedly asked the victim for a dollar, and when he said no, a verbal altercation occurred. When Weed tried to walk away, the two teens are accused of punching him in the head while following him until the 15-year-old allegedly punched Weed in the head causing him to fall on to the ground.

It was the 15-year-old punch that officials believe caused Weed’s death.

Just as they were getting their lives headed in the right direction....I'm sure.

Interesting how they get manslaughter out of murder.

They laughed...that is murder.

How do they get to manslaughter from that ? They plan a strong arm robbery, and a man dies when it goes wrong... due to a physical attack.

That is murder isn't it ?

They didn't intend to kill the guy. From the facts as given it appears to be a simple assault so no felony murder. Death resulting from an illegal act such as simple assault is chargeable as manslaughter.

That's on general principles, depends on the specific state's law.

Black demands slack.

What a travesty of justice. The fifteen year old thug needs a public hanging for murder, and his brother needs 20 years of hard time. I guess our criminal justice system doesn’t place a high value on the victim’s life.

But they’s just po black folk tryin to get by...

Yes, it is. The reason being that the perp is presumed to know that strong arm robbery is an inherently dangerous activity where severe physical harm to the victim is highly likely to occur. In American law, that presumed knowledge satisfies the mens rea element for murder.

They both could be Obama's sons.

He needed that money so his baby sister can have milk to drink.

Grape Drank👍🏻

for that little money, I am surprised it was even a crime in Maryland.

both should be hung in the public, people need to see what happens when you commit a crime ,no matter the color of the skin.

"teens"- liberal code speech for blacks.

Theys not gon be able to make de elijuh blue gummins' fooneral

Slum they should be joining him not just attending!

Burn them!

Around here, if anybody dies while you are committing a felony, it is felony murder. Even if it is your buddy dead with a cop's bullet in his heart.

Too bad, both animals need to be convicted of felony murder in an adult court.

I assume there are not a lot of CCWs in Md. That is too bad also. Judicious use of a defensive handgun would have saved the state a bunch of money and prevented recidivism.

i would want them set free.....bob
