ORIENTATIONS TO FOLLOW:
McLorens friend and neighbor, 15-year old Jimmy Farris, was with him that day.
One of the teens stayed with the pickup trick; the others, including Hein, Jason
Holland, 18, and his 15-year-old brother Micah, approached Mike McLorens shed,
which was called "the fort." Jason Holland says he was drunk and lagging behind
the others and he did not see how the argument between McLoren and his
brother started.
By the time I get in there, he says step into the door, he and Mike McLoren are
standing, like, face to face, you know, and, you know, there was clearly a problem
there. They were already in a argument, you know. But there was no words being
exchanged by the time I got in there. Immediately when I got in there, I stepped in
there, they just dropped their heads and started fighting. Brandon Hein jumped
into the fray; so did Jason, who says he was trying to protect his brother Micah
from the bigger and stronger McLoren.
Mike McLoren was on top of my brother, Jason says, hes hammering him in the
back of the neck, and I'm telling him to get off him, get off him. You know, I'm
trying to pull him off of him. I'm hitting him, I'm yelling at him. He's not listening,
so I pulled a knife and I stabbed him. After two times of pricking him in the back
and he wasn't getting off my brother, I stabbed him in the chest. After stabbing
McLoren, Jason stabbed McLorens friend Jimmy Farris. McLoren survived; Farris
did not.
Mike Latin and Jeff Semow, the two Los Angeles deputy district attorneys who
prosecuted the case, charged each teen under the felony murder rule under the
theory that they went to the place where the murder occurred with the intention
of robbing the victims. I guarantee you this, says Latin. That stabber would not
have been there if he didn't have the bravado that the accompaniment of the
other four young boys gave him. He wouldn't have been there. Semow says the
rule is designed as a warning to those who would participate in gang robberies.
They are not going to be able to hide behind the defense of saying, But the other
guy actually pulled the trigger, if, in fact, the victim is killed, he says.
For the felony murder rule to apply, prosecutors had to prove that a felony
occurred. Without that, the felony murder rule could not apply. All the defendants
deny intending to rob the marijuana: Going there to buy some weed, says Jason
Holland. We were just partying, having a good time. But the jury did not believe
him. Instead, jurors were convinced the snatching of the mothers wallet earlier in
the day indicated they also plotted to rob drug dealer Mike McLoren.
The teenagers families were stunned when they heard the verdicts and the
sentences: Jason Holland and Brandon Hein were convicted of murder and got life
without the possibility of parole. Micah was convicted of murder and got 29 years
to life.
The fourth defendant, Anthony Miliotti, 17, got life without the possibility of
parole even though he stood at the door and never got into the fight. The fifth
teen, who stayed with the truck, pled guilty and was sentenced to nine years.
Brandons parents, Gene Hein and Pat Kraetch say their son is being punished for
something he did not do. I don't know over the years how many people have
come up to me now, adults, who have gotten past that scary 18- to 25-year-old
age and said, But for the grace of God, it could have been me, says his mother.
Jeff Laden speaks for the group when he charges that their boys were punished
not for what they did but for who was killed: the son of a 30-year veteran of the
Los Angeles Police Department. It's about a police officer's son who died. And the
only way they could convict all these kids was use the Felony Murder Rule, Laden
says.

Dont tell that to Jimmy Farriss parents. Jim Farris, his father, says, The fact that
I'm a policeman has nothing to do with anything. I just happen to be a policeman
whose son was murdered. That's it.
Jimmys mother, Judy, asks, How much is too much time for killing someone? For
taking away and changing our lives completely, forever?
As for Jimmy Ferriss friend, Mike McLoren, he was never prosecuted for selling
drugs. He still lives at home. When 60 Minutes II visited, he refused to speak with
correspondents or crew.
No one feels worse about the punishment of the others than Jason Holland. I
didn't try to kill him, I didn't mean to kill him, he says. But he died. I can't give it
back, but I took responsibility for it. I thought that was the right thing to do, and I
thought that they would do the right thing, but they didn't. They came after us.
And they got my brother and my two buddies. And we're all doing life now. And
they're doing life for something they didn't do.
England, where the felony rule began (and was known as "being an accessory after
the fact"), took it off the books in 1957, believing it is wrong to punish someone
who intends to rob as severely as someone who intends to kill. Many states have
followed suit; California is not one of them.
