CNN.com: A juvenile court judge shocked prosecutors by setting bail at $250,000 for a 12-year-old boy charged with firing a gun in the city.
The district attorney’s office had asked for $5,000 bail when the boy was arraigned Tuesday on a juvenile weapons possession charge.
Judge Paul D. Lewis said he had lost patience with youth violence after 23 years on the juvenile bench.
“These kids don’t take responsibility for anything,” the judge told The Boston Globe after Tuesday’s ruling. “They’re fearless. It’s out of control. It’s beyond out of control.”
