...about who that audience is. The colorful artwork of the album's cover is sure to catch the eye of any pre-teen, who make up most of the faithful watchers of the Pokemon TV cartoon, and the first track is the Pokemon theme (by Billy Crawford), again another appeal to younger kids. But the other songs seem to aim at another age group, that of the devoted fans of the new generation of pop that includes the various "boy groups" and artists like Spears and Aguilera--12-14 year old girls.

...year-old could present a "diminished capacity" defense, so what's the logic in assigning adult capabilities to an 11-year-old? (Especially one who is, according to defense psychologists, operating on the level of a six-year-old?) In Abraham's case - which Fieger says he will appeal - prosecutors indicate they may be willing to ease up in the sentencing phase, offering the possibility of eight years of juvenile detention followed by a psychological reassessment and, potentially, parole.
