Hmmph, the chocolate-eating never-surrendering monkeys are obviously slacking. It wouldn't have happened in the good old days. She’s been let off?

Not sure. Perhaps a US lawyer could comment on this point? Thanks for the link and I'm glad it is unusual :) I’ve not heard these stories from the US but doli incapax merely refers to the age of criminal capacity: in the UK it is 10, but in the US maybe it is 6.

It's always usefull -- also for cheese eating Swiss -- to get some reflection from the outside. Todays newspapers report (cf. http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/dyn/news/schweiz/593219.html) that the kid has been found not guilty and, yes, such a case is very bizarre and got some media echo. I am very happy to learn that those situations are not possible in anglo saxon countries. The confirms my belief that stories that 6 years olds has been jailed in the US are simply wrong.
