11-year old girl gets probation
11-year old Maribel Cuevas in Fresno, California was charged with assault but granted 6 months probation for throwing a 2-pound rock at a neighbor boy. The boy had hit her with a water-balloon and she retaliated by throwing the heavy rock at his head, causing a gash that required stitches.
When Maribel was arrested in April, she spent 5 days in juvenile hall and was facing up to 4 years in custody. Prosecutors offered to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor in exchange for a guilty plea, but the girl refused.
