First, don't use all caps it makes it hard to read.
Second, do you have a question?

Is your son being tried as an adult?
Can you fill in the facts?
You left out some important facts.
Please include when you called the police when these punks showed up on your porch and laid in wait for your son.
What is the plea bargin for, what charge?
Your son killed someone with his knife, surely this is not the first clue that he was running with the wrong crowd, is it?
He wasn't in his Boy Scout Uniform with his BSA pen knife was he?
