Teenage Brothers Charged With Murder of Twelve-Year-Old
A Facebook posting may have helped implicate them according to their mother, who alerted police to it
Two brothers, ages 15 and 17, have been charged with murdering a 12-year-old New Jersey girl, who had been missing and was later found stuffed inside a recycling container, Gloucester County prosecutor Sean Dalton said.
Autumn Pasquale, of Clayton, was lured to the boys' house, where her belongings were found, Dalton said, and she appears to have died from strangulation. There were no signs of sexual assault.

In a civilized society the perpetrators would be dead by now.
Before the trial, you mean?
Hell yes.
Is there any doubt of their guilt?
