Teen Convicted In Slurpee Murder

In a Prince George's County courtroom Friday, 16-year-old Emmanuel McClain, of Suitland, was convicted on four counts in the beating death of 18-year-old Michael Bassett.

Police and prosecutors said McClain beat Bassett outside a convenience store on Silver Hill Road in Suitland last May after Basset offered to buy a Slurpee for a girl standing nearby. Bassett was left for dead near a busy roadway and was hit by oncoming traffic. He died from injures sustained at the scene.

State's Attorney Glenn Ivey said justice has been done and closure can now come to the Bassett family.

McClain faces at least 65 years in jail when he's sentenced on May 12.

Two other teenagers are also facing charged in the case.

Maybe he knew about this poor kid that got jumped outside a convenience store last year and was killed. There were also around 5 or 6 people involved in that too. This occured in my region. Plus, there have been many instances where someone is knocked to the ground, someone else kicks him, and then there is a severed spinal cord or dain bramage or death. Group beatings often turn out very bad, and this guy may have had no idea of what he was getting into that night. Until there is more information, I would have to side with the shooter. Shoot a few more assholes and maybe people will leave you alone when you are trying to just go about your business.
