If the Feds hadnt stepped in and prosecuted the boys under federal gun violations the two boys would have been released when they were 18 instead of 21. That would have been pretty brutal for the victim's families. A quadruple murder and the one boy who was 13 would have done less than 5 years.
The Jonesboro killings were the major reason many states, including Tenn, changed their laws to allow for the prosecution of minors as adults.
