If any of this has already been announced, I haven’t seen it because I haven’t done my news checking today yet. Last night I watched about 10 minutes of the announcement. Here’s what I predict will happen over the next few days/weeks/months:
The indictments will be federal, not state, and will seek the death penalty.
We will hear protests of this by MD, VA, and DC state attorneys.
The kid will (duh) be charged as an adult.
The kid will break and offer testimony against the adult in exchange for a life sentence without parole.
The adult will make a brief visit to the electric chair.
The kid will get nailed while in general populations at a federal pen.
Some idiot will “retaliate” against Muslims.
We will hear from one of the usuals about the “racial” motivations of the prosecution.
We will hear form some soft-hearted person that the poor kid was taken advantage of, manipulated, and shouldn’t be held responsible for his actions.
The media will pick some tidbit about the case that they think should have solved the case sooner and ride it until everyone is tired of hearing it.
There will be complaints by many of the law enforcement agencies against the others, and much blame slinging as a result.
Add/subtract/argur at your leisure.
