I find it interesting the articles says they stole "at least 3 cars" in their crime spree, yet noted they had used a different car earlier in the day to attempt to murder the 72 year old cyclist, then stole 2 more cars after the successful murder. So....it was clearly at least 4. Poor editing.

The teenager who police say intentionally struck and killed a retired police chief in Las Vegas said he would get a slap on the wrist after he was taken into custody, the 8newsnow.com Investigators have learned.

Jesus Ayala, 17 at the time, appeared to show no remorse while being taken into custody. Ayala, now 18, faces 18 counts including murder and has a lengthy criminal history in the juvenile system.

Ayala made comments to police after he was taken into custody:

You think this juvenile [expletive] is gonna do some [expletive]? Ill be out in 30 days, Ill bet you.

I'm guessing he's had plenty of prior experiences of "slaps on the wrist" to be so confident. Shame he hadn't been properly held accountable sooner, or the victim would still be alive.

Its just ah, [expletive] ah, hit-and-run slap on the wrist.

Officers had not yet mentioned a hit-and-run to Ayala at that point in their conversation with him, sources said. They said he was being booked for a warrant and obstructing a peace officer.

Stupid is as stupid does
