Teens Who Jumped Ex-DOGE Staffer ‘Big Balls’ Given Probation
The judge claimed “that the purpose of juvenile court is to rehabilitate, not to punish.”
The two teens, both 15, who jumped former DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine received probation.
Of course they did!
The judge claimed “that the purpose of juvenile court is to rehabilitate, not to punish.”
Um, what?
The judge gave the boy a 12-month probation and ordered him to undergo house arrest. The girl got a nine-month probation and was sent to a youth shelter.
The judge didn’t even make them give up their accomplices.
Yes, the police are still looking for their accomplices.
Both are from Hyattsville, Maryland.
The attack happened on August 3 when they attempted to carjack Coristine and beat him to a bloody pulp.
They left Big Balls with a concussion and a broken nose.
The pair pleaded guilty to simple assault. They faced assault and robbery charges.

These leftest judges are so out of control
“The judge claimed “that the purpose of juvenile court is to rehabilitate, not to punish.”
So how rehabilitated are they now, judge? And you know that how?
Being ordered to stay home and play video games/watch Tiktok all day. What a punishment.
Violent crimes require prison time, not probation. This judge’s statement that she isn’t there to punish but to rehabilitate offenders is dead wrong. She is there to punish criminals! That she doesn’t understand this is grounds for removal.
No, she isn’t. She is correct and you are wrong. The purpose of juvenile court is explicitly NOT punishment. So no, when sitting as a juvenile court judge it is very much NOT her job to punish criminals.
And the levels of juvenile crime now would seem to indicate an utter failure of that effort.
Indeed, but that doesn’t change the law.
The little hood-rat girl will get ‘punished’ in the youth shelter, you can rest assured of that.
Who is the judge? Female? I’m rapidly become misogynistic driven there by the behavior and actions of females in our society (not that a lot of males are much better). Never thought I’d end up here but here I am.
Female, black, stupid, token.
Maybe just chance but this is same as article just below where woman gets hacked to death. Anyone think stuff will ever be any diff either place DC or Pali?
I think what those kids learned is that depending on what the politics of your victim is there may or may not be consequences.
Idiot leftists talk about a school to prison pipeline.
This is how it actually works. Lefty moron judges and school administrators allowing young people to never face any prospect of punishment until they are adults and kill someone.
I guess I’m missing the part where there will be any attempt at “rehabilitation”.
Seems she simply let them off the hook, pleading to a charge far lesser than what their actions actually called for, and probation.
The lesson they’ll learn here is that they can get away with nearly murdering someone just for the fun of it.
Neither the judge nor ANYONE on the left has any sympathy for the victim, and they’ll have the same zero sympathy for the next victim of these same perps, and the victim after that, and the victim after that, etc, etc, etc
And then when someone finally exterminates the feral hood rats they’ll throw the book at them for exercising their God given right of self defense.
We live in a two tier justice system.
“that the purpose of juvenile court is to rehabilitate, not to punish.”
And that’s the entire problem right there. Justice should not be rehabilitative. It’s not really justice if it is. Justice should make the victim whole and punish the perpetrator. Where it can’t make the victim whole it should punish the perpetrator severely.
Societal organizations outside of the justice system should work on rehabilitating. The state is to do JUSTICE.
Yes, but juvenile court isn’t about justice.
Obviously, unfortunately it doesn’t teach the juveniles anything other than that they shouldn’t expect consequences.
What’s hard to understand about this simple and obviously true statement? Do you seriously dispute it?! It’s almost explicitly stated in the relevant law.
You may be right about the law, but if so, the law is wrong.
I suggest you read this:
“The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment” – C.S. Lewis
https://www.angelfire.com/pro/lewiscs/humanitarian.html
Indeed the law is wrong. It’s still the law, and the judge’s job is to state the law. It’s not her business to express her own private opinions from the bench. So what is Mary Chastain’s objection to the judge’s correct statement?
Since you mentioned Lewis, I recently read Miracles, which had somehow escaped my notice for decades. We desperately need more people like him, capable of setting aside their own opinions and engaging in plain and calm reason.
