White’s request to await trial on house arrest rejected:
Thomas White’s request to await his trial under house arrest has been denied.
As you know, Thomas White was the 13-year-old who brought an assault rifle to Memorial Middle School in Joplin, MO. He fired a round into the ceiling and is accused of pointing the gun at his principal and pulling the trigger, but the gun jammed after the first shot.
His attorneys had requested that he await trial on house arrest to meet his educational needs that could not be met in prison.
White has been charged as an adult, but the State Supreme Court will hold a hearing in late February to determine if White should be sent back to juvenile court.
White’s Lawyers are also trying to get his bond lowered, which is currently at $250K.
If all the people who think White should be tried as a juvenile got together, I’m sure they could scrape up his bond but for some reason, they’re just not doing that.
