Judge Thomas Lipps said Saturday he will announce his decision after reviewing evidence presented over four days in the case against 17-year-old Trent Mays and 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond.

2. Hoping for a just outcome.

I'd hate to see this judge fall into the Steubenville "Now, those young men have some important games coming up and they need to be able to put this all behind them and practice" culture of thinking.

3. So...

We have to read The Guardian to find out whether the judge delivers an appropriate verdict? Where is our media on this horrific crime?

4. Hey folks

Courts are not in session on Sundays. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
