	Teen killer Cody Posey spared prison, sentenced to juvenile center on CourtTV.com
		Cody, now 16, sat pensively and did not visibly react as District Judge James Waylon Counts rattled off the reasons he decided not to impose an adult sentence in a case that contributed to the ongoing national discussion about what society should do with juveniles who commit violent crimes.
		In the end, however, Counts said he arrived at a juvenile sentence and a recommendation that Cody be treated at a secure adolescent treatment center based on his belief that the teen does not exhibit the psychopathic traits prosecutors relied on to support their argument that he is not a candidate for treatment.
		Cody's stepmother, Sandy Schmid, said she was stunned and had not fully absorbed what happened in court.

	Please pray for CODY POSEY, the 16 yr. old being sentenced today in New Mexico
		Cody Posey was a victim of sick and violent abuse within his own family and father, including those of a possibly sexual nature.
		I pray GOD forgives Cody Posey of his crimes and touches the judges heart to make this judge give Cody a chance to grow up and have a normal life, not go to prison w/ hardened men who will violate him.
		Cave agreed that Cody's decision to shoot his stepmother and stepsister twice in the head showed he intended to kill them, just as his decision to bury them in a pile of manure and throw the gun in the river demonstrated a cover-up attempt.

	Trial Junkie: The Abuse Excuse (The Case of Cody Posey)
		According to Posey's testimony, "I just lost my mind, I guess." For many people who lean pro-defence as I generally do, it's easy to push the possibility that this boy just snapped and did something about his situation.
		Nancy Marie- I will have to disagree with what you said, his step-mother wasn't innocent, she abused him as his father did.Her abuse may not have been out right, but if you are a stander-by watching abuse and you don't step in to help you are just as guilty as the abuser.
		Cody could have run away, told the authorities, sought help, etc. Cody took justice into his own hands instead and killed 3 people - one of which was a little girl, no matter what you want to say about her.
