          The real blame is with the jury. Does any other nation use such a system?

              Government imposed curfews:

              Setting up curfews is the responsibility of the parents. I am sick and tired of the government acting as a nanny telling people how they can and can't act, the nanny state stifles local communities.

                That'll teach those girls a lesson -- next time, just knock the door down, steal what you want and be on your way. At least then they've got to get you "beyond a reasonable doubt" instead of whatever cockamamie threshold of evidence led to this miscarriage of justice

                      The girls' behavior does seem strange, ummature, and something right out of the plot of a disney tween show.

                      On this special episode of 7th Heaven, Hillary Duff guest stars as Lizzy Mcguire, and proceeds to get entangled in the law for distributing cookies to crank neighbors. Barry Williams (of Brady Bunch fame) guest stars as the judge.

                      However, the outcome of this makes me furious! In America we don't have a Justice system, we have a legal system. It seems like the facts concerning their "malicious" action is that they knocked on the door and didn't respond to the woman asking who's there, then they left. The cookies seem like almost a side issue of no importance at all. Maybe it's where I'm partially insomniatic, but 10:30 at night isn't late. Unless this woman had a sign on her property saying no trespassing, it doesn't seem like this is trespassing. I just can't see how they could have found these girls liable for her hospital bill. If she only had to pay 900 dollars in doctor bills, it sounds like she didn't wrong with her. Except that she's a pyscho freak. If I had 900 extra dollars I would send it to the girls along with enough money to countersue the woman for harrassment. I wish people could simply set down and talk things out instead of always getting the court system involved.

                        I've never heard of a state having a curfew law before. I heard news reports of a couple cities having it for after Midnight, but not a state and not for so early. Maryland certainly has no such curfew law.

I think the judge should have made the woman pay all the court fees, since she refused to settle, and wasted the sourt's time.
                            Isn't curfew 12:00 AM in most areas in the country?

                              I didn't really notice this part first time I read the story:

                              Two teenage girls decided one summer's evening to skip a dance where there might be cursing and drinking to stay home and bake cookies for their neighbors.


                              This story sounds more and more like "Cry-Baby"

                                WTF are you on about?

                                Curfew? Are you seriously claiming that there are a significant number of jurisdictions in the US with a legally imposed curfew on minors (also note that one was of legal age)...
                                in Las Vegas there is a curfew of 12:00 AM in minors. and they aren't allowed to drive down the Las Vegas strip.
