LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: In South Florida earlier today, a funeral for the English teacher Barry Grunow who was shot to death on the last day of school. Police say it was a student who pulled the trigger. Here's CNN's Susan Candiotti with our report.</s>SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Some came carrying flowers, current and former students, teachers, parents and strangers, all paying their last respects to English teacher Barry Grunow. As the teacher was being mourned, a grand jury was seated. Within the next two weeks, Palm Beach County's chief prosecutor will present evidence and ask for a first-degree murder indictment. If state attorney Barry Krischer gets what he wants, 13-year-old suspect Nathaniel Brazill would have to be tried as an adult under Florida law.</s>BARRY KRISCHER, PALM BEACH CO. STATE ATTY.: Quite frankly, I think we do a disservice to our youth when we make excuses for their violent behavior and try to treat it as a juvenile acting out. Murder is an adult crime just being committed by somebody in a 13-year-old's body.</s>CANDIOTTI: But some experts who study juvenile crime suggest prosecutors need to consider the child, not just the severity of the crime.</s>RITA SIMON, JUVENILE SOCIOLOGIST: In terms of all the psychological baggage that comes with the difference between being adults and children, he may not fully appreciate, understand, recognize what he has done, and I think that matters.</s>CANDIOTTI: Police say three days before the shooting, the honor- roll student showed off the gun he allegedly stole from his grandfather's house. But the two boys who saw the weapon didn't tell anyone until it was too late.</s>KRISCHER: One of the messages we need to teach our children is that telling is not tattling.</s>CANDIOTTI: Tonight, as a community calls for an end to gun violence, the mourning continues with a candlelight vigil for the fallen teacher, his widow and two young children.
