Brandon Hein
So what did Brandon Hein do?
He was drunk and got into a fight that involved six boys where one boy stabbed another who bled to death. The state did not claim that Brandon killed anyone, but under the felony murder rule if a jury decides that Brandon and his friends went to a fort in the backyard of a house in Agoura Hills, California to steal marijuana, not just to smoke it or buy it as the boys claimed, Brandon could be convicted of intended robbery.
That is what the jury decided. Legal scholars have said the sentence for Brandon Hein is one of the most outrageous applications of the felony murder rule they have ever seen. A life sentence with no chance for parole for a teenager who did nothing more than get drunk and get into a fight," according to press notes.
I am haunted each and every day, knowing that as I enjoy my freedom, Brandon is serving a life sentence. There must be someone who can make a difference....someone who has the power to bring this injustice to an end.
