Two families are speaking out this week about the DA's handling of the [Angel and Jazy murder case](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/jazy-and-angel-sotelo-garcia/).

The case was filed in juvenile court, but the families have been lobbying for it to move to adult court due to the severity of the crimes.

The DA's office recently informed them that it would remain a juvenile matter, meaning the defendant will be released by age 25, if not much sooner.

"This is the wrong approach," said the mother of a boy who survived the shooting. "To be so lenient on the worst crimes, that doesn't help anything."
