16-year-old Keith Scott is going to be tried as an adult in the beating of 92-year-old vet, Josef Martin in Fresno, California. Inn October, Scott and 12 & 15-year-old accomplices broke into Mr. Martin’s home according to the Fresno Bee<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Mims said one of the suspects thrust a gun in Martin’s mouth and threatened to kill him. Martin also was pistol-whipped and then thrown into a closet, his head punching a foot-wide hole in the wall, as the assailants ransacked his home, stealing $200 from under a rug and jewelry before getting away.<\/p>\n

Mims also said deputies were investigating other home invasions in the vicinity of Martin’s home near Olive and Willow avenues.<\/p>\n

But so far, only Scott and the 12-year-old have been charged in connection with the attack on Martin.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, Lamanuzzi said neither Scott nor the 12-year-old was charged with personally using or holding a gun. That suspect has never been charged, he said.<\/p>\n

Sheriff’s officials confirmed Wednesday an investigation of the third suspect is ongoing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bee continues to paint a sympathetic portrait of Scott, a slight teen surrounded by hardened criminals in the court room. His lawyer tells us he’s a “special education student”, like that means anything anymore. We’re all special ed students these days. If I took down all of our phonies who people claimed they were “challenged, we’d be out of business. The lawyer claims that his client was influenced by the other boys – who were both younger than him. Hardly sounds right. But he’s being held on $400k bail, so we’ll know where to find him when he goes to trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
