'Superpredators' Arrive

摘要

On Oct. 13, 1994, 5-year-old eric Morse and his 8-year-old brother, Derrick, ran into two of the toughest bullies their South Side Chicago neighborhood had to offer. The intimidating boys lured the brothers to a vacant 14th-floor apartment. Twice, they dangled a terrified and wailing Eric—who had re- fused to steal candy for them— out the window. When Derrick tried to pull in his brother, the older bully bit his hand so hard he let go. Eric plunged to his death. Derrick ran downstairs, thinking he might catch his brother in time. It was a bloodcurdling crime at any age. But the killers, whose names have not been released by officials, were all of 10 and 11.
