Hi Jackie:
They were talking last night about how these kids would only spend x
number of years in custody, and then they would be released as well as
their records sealed.
Their faces have been on Newsweek, Time, etc. There is absolutely no
secret of who they are. The prior record of the one boy has been
discussed in detail on many of the news shows, and the parents and
grandparents are making the rounds of the morning talk shows.
I don't know how any of this was made public in the beginning, but
everyone from the grandfather on down are now discussing it quite openly
with anyone who will listen.
