'Defendants Are Getting Younger And Younger,' Says Detroit Judge Kenneth King

from The Week That Was on Deadline Detroit · host Allan Lengel / Deadline Detroit

In one of the busiest courts in the nation, Detroit 36th District Judge Kenneth is disturbed at what he sees: More heartless violent crimes, particularly against children, committed by people with mental health issues.  "I firmly believe a lot of emotionally imparied children that are becoming emotionally impaired adults are committing these crimes," King, who presides over the criminal docket, tells Deadline Detroit in the second of a two-part June interview.
