Judge declines to release student on gun case:
One of the more bizarre stories I’ve posted about in the past few years was that of Robin Kittrell. He was the student from Whitewater High School in Georgia who brought an arsenal of weapons to the school in order to prevent a school shooting.
During his trial, he claimed that he left the weapons in his car accidentally for a trip that he was going on. I don’t know what kind of trip requires two rifles, two handguns, and a sword but whatever.
Kittrell pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to two years in a detention center.
Kittrell received his GED in detention and has requested an early release. The judge has denied that request stating that he would like to see Kittrell receive his high school diploma while in detention before considering early release.
While I think that Kittrell should have been sentenced to detention it may be for the best since he’s still receiving an education.
I hope he’s also receiving mental health treatment as well.
