Two teenagers convicted in St. Petersburg, Russia, of robbing a schoolboy and beating a passerby
I can’t write this one as a finished article for the campaign. The source says the two defendants were under 18 at the time of the crimes, but it doesn’t give their ages. The campaign covers only offenders aged 14 or younger, and the source doesn’t establish that for Roman I. or Ruslan K. The only birth year given (2010) is for the victim, a schoolboy, not for either defendant. Writing the piece would mean supplying an age the source doesn’t state.
If the source’s full text or the court’s release gives the defendants’ ages, I can draft the article from that. Otherwise, the item falls outside the campaign’s scope and should not run under it.
