Just Law mentors Rochester students on justice and law system
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Twelve students were selected as the winners of the 2024-2025 JUST LAW essay contest. The Justice, Understanding, Societal, Trust, and Literacy, Attendance and Writing program (JUST LAW) teaches Rochester students from sixth to ninth grade about the US legal system. Students were asked to write a 250-word essay on the topic 'What Justice Means to Me.' Winners had the opportunity to be mentored by members of the Rochester Black Bar Association and court leaders. 'Just to hear about what experiences children have had with law enforcement, with the court systems, I have learned so much,' Monroe County Judge Fatimat Reid said. 'Even as young as 6th graders they are such deep thinkers, they have such opinions about what they believe the court system is like, how they see the future of the court system, so I really see a bright future in these young kids as to what future and true justice means to them.' Selected from over 150 essay submissions, these students also won opportunities for mentorship with court leaders and members of the Rochester Black Bar Association.

Fifteen-year-old Nolan Grove sentenced for murder could spend decades in prison
YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — Nolan Grove was 13 when he pulled the trigger, and he's 15 now and in the York County Prison. 'There's a lot to be learned from this case,' defense attorney Farley Holt said. 'I guess the question goes back is whether or not he should have been tried as an adult to begin with.' Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Which could have happened in any state except California, the only state that prohibits charging children under sixteen as adults, regardless of the crime they're accused of. Had Grove been charged as a juvenile, he would have been released no later than his 21st birthday. He was fourteen when prosecutors decided to charge him as an adult, meaning effectively, less than a seven-year sentence had he been charged as a juvenile. 'They didn't feel there was enough time for Nolan to be rehabilitated,' Holt said. Grove had been out on bail, that part is unusual for someone charged with third-degree murder. But with the conviction, bail was revoked, and he went straight to York County Prison. 'Do I like him being at York County Prison? no, but at least I know he's safe there,' Holt said. 'I know they're gonna keep a really close eye on him because they're certainly not gonna let anything happen to a 15-year-old in there.' Sentencing is set for Aug. 28. The statutory maximum is 20 to 40 years. The judge does have discretion to go below 20. In all likelihood, though, Nolan Grove will leave prison a middle-aged, working-age man who has spent his whole adult life in prison. Neither the Republican nor Democratic senate co-chairs of the PA Criminal Justice Reform Caucus was available to speak.

People who argue the opposite say their case is even more straightforward: Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
