Re: “First Slice 6/13/13: Rapper J. Cole throws surprise $1 show at the Loft”
Ira - I looked it up and decided to go with "chitlins." Yeah, according to Urban Dictionary "chilluns" is correct, but growing up we always accented the "T" and "L." Maybe it's a Georgia thing. Maybe we just said it wrong. IDK, but given its a slang term anyways I stand by the choice.

Under SB 440, pretty much any juvenile that commits one of the 'seven deadly sins' crimes is tried as an adult regardless of age (though, I think there may be a cut-off for kids younger than 13. I honestly can't remember off the top of my head.). They also face a minimum of 10 years in prison thanks to a sister bill, SB 441. I wrote something about this for another case around the same time all of this happened last year:
