Ignorant Teens Realize They Are Never Going Home

The moment a teenager realizes they will never go home is a chilling turning point in any true crime story. It can happen during an arrest, like with Scarlett Jenkinson, who cried and asked "How come I am a suspect?" when she was handcuffed for the murder of Brianna Ghey [citation:12]. Or it can be the slow, crushing realization that their entire adult life will be spent behind bars, as seen in the case of a 16-year-old in Utah arrested for a double murder [citation:9]. For some, like the 17-year-old graffiti artist in San Francisco who could be tried as an adult and face 25 years to life in prison, it is a legal cliffhanger [citation:1]. Others, like James Fairweather, were caught while hunting for their next victim, their freedom ended by a hairdresser who spotted him lurking in the bushes [citation:10].Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/red-tree-crime--6847553/support.
