Hunter who killed hiker gets 30 days

This kid says he mistook a woman for a bear when she shot her as she was hiking. What a load of crap!

Want to bet what his excuse will be next time he shoots somebody?

Young hunter who killed hiker gets 30 days - Crime & courts- msnbc.com: "MOUNT VERNON, Washington - A teenage hunter who shot and killed a hiker he mistook for a bear has been sentenced to 30 days in juvenile detention and 120 hours of community service.

Tyler J. Kales, then 14, was hunting with his older brother in August when he shot 54-year-old Pamela Almli of Oso, who was trekking on the popular Sauk mountain hiking trail north of Seattle.

Kales, who has since turned 15, apologized to the victim's family at Friday's sentencing and said he hoped they could forgive him."

This case sends the wrong message, and that is coming from a criminal defense lawyer.
