Lakeville girl, 16, admits role in beating of disabled man

Clad in a blue Woody Woodpecker shirt and choking back tears, a 16-year-old Lakeville girl apologized to the mother of the disabled man she lured into a violent trap last month.

What a piece of garbage.

[oxboro]

she feels bad because she was caught...shes a lowlife

Restitution? Apology?

No. She and her worthless "boyfriend" should have to personally care for the victim as long as he lives with the horror they imposed on him.

They should cook for him, clean for him, bathe him and take him places where his horror could be soothed away. They should not delegate or pay a surrogate for any of his care.

By doing this they should also serve their other victim, the mother of this poor man. Instead, they get to cough up a few bucks, "apologize" and go forth to sin no more?

I don't think so.

She's undoubtedly one great actress. She first convinced her friends that she had been assaulted by this victim, then was able to lure him out two nights in a row to be beaten for something it seems he would have been incapable of in the first place.
Then she puts on an Oscar performance in the court room. WOW. Unfortunately it worked. The guys she lured into this are facing serious charges and prison time for buying into her story. She should be held just as accountable if not more so. This would never have happened if not for her lying trap. And she is only 16? What will we hear from her in the future? Scary....

Did she ever explain why she did this to her "best friend"? Why did she lie to lure him into a trap? I agree that this girl has very little chance of making it on probation. Also, who were the lawyers in this case? Backstrom was not the actual attorney who handled the case; I guarantee you that.

[oxboro]

thank you james Backstrom, yuor just as big of lowlife for letting her off

[Jan]

This litle P.O.S (thats piece of sh*#) SHOULD BE PUT IN AN ADULT MENS PRISON and let the inmates have their way with her.

[Michael]

Let the punishment come her way.

for your info..Backstrom is the prosecuting attorney for Dakota county..its up to him how criminals are charged and he chose not charge her as an adult and prosecute her...she got off way too easy

Disgusting!!!!!!!!!! Find a reason why she committed the crimes and give her no time in Jail. I want to puke. On this Thanksgiving I don't know how anyone involved in this can look themselves in the face and be happy.

Disgusting work by the the judge and Dakota County Attorneys Office. SHAME ON YOU.

DAHN you are pig and I hope you violate your probation. The good thing for you is when you do the soft on crime judges in Dakota County won't send you to prison for 8 yrs because they will give you another break.

If this type of crime gets an 8 year stayed sentence you now all know how light sentences criminals get in this county. It is an invitation for criminals!!!!!

I can tell you one thing. I have been in the joint and these guys are gonna be livin a nightmare. The inmates don't take kindly to this kinda BS. They better watch their backs because if just ONE inmate has a brother or family member thats disabled and they find out what these punks did. I can guarentee they will get hurt. You don't mess with people that can't defend themselves. One word of advice. If you drop the soap have somone else pick it up for you. You will prabably will get "rushed" on anyways.

Mr Backstrom doesn't like it any more than you do. It's the Judges fault not Mr. Backstrom.

I heard Backsrom on the radio this morning explaining why he did what he did...
Next week he will be bragging about the shoplifters or loiterers he has prosecuted..

[Mr Inside]

Jim Backstom is a political hack. He cannot cut in the court room. He took the deal and should have to answer for it. He offered the plea and the court accepted it. He is as scummy as the girl.

[wbigs]

She should go crawl in a hole and die.

[wbigs]

h ole
not sure whay I cant use that word

[Matt]

I don't care what her history is. She should not be get a break because of her upbringing. If this was the case, half of the cons would get reduced sentences. She is a piece of shi and should receive the 8 years for her part. If she was a black male she would have gotten attempted murder.

And I thought the south was backwards. What a great prosecutor and judge to go along with a sad sob story, They cannot be playing with a full deck,this girl should get the MAX!!!! WHAT A P.O.S!!!!!!!!!!

You all need to remember, this girl is only sixteen. Granted, what she did was very very wrong, if you had a child, would you want them in a prison? It was extremely wrong what she did, yes, but maybe a juvenile detention center until 18 would suffice. And dont get mad at the defense attorney. He was only doing his job, and thats to keep a person out of jail. Its what he gets paid to do, no matter the crime

16 will turn into 18 then this demented little biotch, will still be free to do something very stupid like this again..then she can rot in prison hopefully
