CHICAGO -- Derrick Lemon was 9 years old when he testified to how he tried to save his younger brother from two boys who eventually tossed him from a 14th-floor window of a shuttered high-rise.
Now 23 years old, Lemon on Thursday was back in the same courthouse. This time he was being found guilty of murdering his aunt's 40-year-old boyfriend, Illya Glover, on March 1, 2006. Glover was shot to death as he tried to stop Lemon from choking the woman during a family barbecue.
According to prosecutors, Lemon attacked his aunt when she asked him to leave the residence during an argument.
Lemon's brother, 5-year-old Eric Morse, was dropped from a Chicago Public Housing building in 1994. Prosecutors said two boys, a 10- and an 11-year-old, killed the boy because he refused to steal candy for them.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
