#27: Fall Guy or Bad Mentor?

I was hoping this was a case of mistaken identity, but if the mentor matched, I’m sure that was enough for the prosecution to make a convincing case. What upsets me most is that this kid sounds like he did his best to stay out of trouble. A so-called mentor should know better than to drag a child into a crime!

As the defense, I’m not sure they would have made this knowledge known, but hopefully, if the kid ended up serving time or owing fines, the mentor did, too. Maybe they could even slap a child endangerment charge on them. I wonder who even pointed the mentor out to the lawyer in the first place!
