TULSA,
Oklahoma -
A 14-year-old boy charged with stealing a
truck, running from troopers and killing an innocent mother and daughter in a
crash, has had his case dismissed in state court.
Elias Gonzales is a member of a recognized
tribe, so the state doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him.
Tulsa County prosecutors charged Gonzales as an
adult with first-degree murder. The federal government will have to pick up the
case, but they will have to get special permission from the tribe in order to
prosecute Gonzales, because he is a minor.
