It's been a little more than a year since Charles "Andy" Williams opened fire on classmates at Santana High School in Santee, California. RMN Agents wrote at the time that Gov. Davis would take this opportunity to "disarm" California.
Something along those lines, but more subtle, is what has been happening. California's Supreme Court has now ruled that there's nothing unconstitutional about Proposition 21, the legislation that will have now 16-year old "Andy" tried as an adult for what he did a year ago.
Additionally, _civil_ suits have been filed, naming both "Andy" and his father, Jeff. Jeff Williams may be found civilly liable for his "failure" to prevent his son from getting access to the .22-caliber gun he took to school that day, even though he kept the gun under lock and key. This could set a precedent that could go a long way toward a voluntary "disarming" of Californians.

Ruling brings Williams case closer to trial
Juvenile justice law survives legal challenge

Minutes after the gunfire at Santana High School stopped one year ago today, then-15-year-old Charles "Andy" Williams was arrested, handcuffed and hustled to a sheriff's station.
Although prosecutors announced almost immediately that Williams would be tried as an adult on charges of murdering two students and wounding 13 other people, the case has been at a standstill ever since.
But with the state Supreme Court ruling Thursday that Proposition 21 is constitutional, the Williams case is moving closer to trial.

Williams, 16, has pleaded not guilty to dozens of charges filed by prosecutors that include murder, attempted murder, and assault.
While the case is back on track, no date for Williams' next court appearance has been set, said a clerk for El Cajon Superior Court Judge Herbert Exarhos, who is presiding over the case.
