A coalition of community organizers is calling on Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson to prosecute a group of teenagers arrested in connection to a string of armed robberies as juveniles rather than adults.
…
Wednesday, the Texas Organizing Project, Color of Change, and Faith in Texas went to the DA’s office to drop off copies of an online petition signed by more than 20,000 people, demanding that she withdraw a motion to have the teens tried as adults…”These children …they should be tried in the system that this state set up for them,” said Reverend Edwin Robinson, a leader of the Faith in Texas group.
