FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Nov. 9) - Three Florida teenagers accused of setting another teen on fire will be charged as adults.

The Broward County State Attorney's office accuses Jarvis of pouring rubbing alcohol on 15-year-old Michael Brewer last month in Deerfield Beach.
Mendez is accused of lighting Brewer on fire and Bent is accused of directing the attack. Brewer sustained burns over 65 percent of his body and is still in critical condition.
Police have said the attack stemmed from a dispute that began over a video game and escalated when the victim accused the defendants of trying to steal his father's bicycle.

according to a liberal judge, we now live in a civilized society whereas punishment should be administered so not to deny the criminals their civil rights . punishment has to be politicaly correct, and the victim made to feel like he is the one at fault, trying these 3 as adults, and they will get one year in prison with parole after 6 months,( there, that will teach them) because they are juviniles, In reality, they need to be doused with gasoline and set fire,
