Dayonn Davis Stole a Pair of Nikes. He’s Going to Prison for 5 Years. Why? [JJIE.org]

Dayonn Davis was 15 when he committed a crime that would get him tried in court as an adult. A Facebook sale of a pair of Oreo Nikes, priced at around $100, went sour when the Columbus, Georgia teen attempted to steal them. Without the knowledge of Davis, a friend pulled out a pistol and everybody ran. Reluctantly, Davis finally gave up the name of his armed friend, but the victim could not pick him out of a lineup. For that 2016 crime, Davis was sentenced in May to five years jail time and 10 years probation. Prosecutor Sadhana Dailey told the Associated Press Davis was tried as an adult because a handgun was used in the robbery.
