Juvenile Status for Blake Austin Hines?

All Cleaned Up for Court?

Remember Blake Austin Hines? If you don't, here's our previous blog on this outstanding citizen:

Easy Money

So, we have young Mr. Hines (he's now 19) who got out of a state juvenile facility on February 18th of last year and then within five weeks of his freedom not only plans a home invasion type burglary, roughs up the home's 78 year-old owner in the process, and here's the kicker...

It seems that Hines' attorney has scheduled a hearing tomorrow to ask for youthful offender status for his client. We're going to go out on a limb and predict that Hines' request will not be honored, but we're also going to give a great big "brass band" award to his attorney for even requesting that status.

Who wants to bet that Hines' lawyer is court appointed and the citizens of Lauderdale County are footing the bill? If that's the case, where did Mommie Dearest come up with the 60K bail money for her darling son?
