Prosecutor Says Two Teens Should be Convicted of Murdering Paramedic - Patch.com
In his closing argument in the trial of Christian Burton and David McNeal, prosecutor Glenn Kim said, “We have a lot of evidence and when we put it together we know what occurred” when Quinn Boyer was shot shortly before noon on April 2, 2013, on... Kim said Boyer “was doing the right thing that day” because he had pulled his Honda Civic off to the side of the road to respond to a text message on his cellphone and “was an innocent person. In contrast, the prosecutor said Burton, who was 16 at the time and is now 18, and McNeal, who was 15 and is now 17, were part of a group of six juveniles who were supposed to be in school that day but instead were involved in a crime spree that... Kim said that about an hour before Boyer was shot the six teens had begun their crime spree by stealing a gold Dodge Intrepid at gunpoint from a man outside the Island Market on High Street in East Oakland. But as the teens drove away in the Dodge Intrepid, they decided it was too cramped so they planned to carjack a bigger vehicle, Kim alleged. He said they followed a female driver on Keller Avenue as a possible target but then saw Boyer pulled over on the side of the road and decided that he would be a convenient victim. Source: patch.com
