Suffice to say the Baltimore public is in shock at the 70-year gap and the age of the alleged perpetrator. T.J. Smith, spokesperson for Baltimore City Police says, “I don’t think any of us were thinking a 14-year-old would be capable of something like this.”
The shock is understandable as the city of Baltimore has not charged a 14-year old as an adult for murder in a while. It’s even more worrying when the rape of an 83-year old is fashioned into the conversation.
