Michelle Burney ka naam ek aise case se juda hai jo 2011 mein Oklahoma ke Coweta shahar mein hua tha. Yeh ek aisa qatal tha jo sirf ek violent crime hi nahi, balki emotions aur betrayal ki ek complicated kahani bhi thi. Michelle us waqt sirf 14 saal ki thi jab uske pita, Arthur Burney, ki hatya kar di gayi thi. Iss qatal ke liye zimmedar sirf ek professional killer nahi, balki uski apni maa, Patricia Burney, uska boyfriend Michael Richardson, aur woh khud bhi thi.
Patricia Burney ne apne pati ki hatya karne ke liye Michael Richardson ko $6,000 ka lalach diya tha. Yeh ek carefully planned murder tha, jisme Michelle bhi shamil thi. Jab police ne investigation ki, to yeh sab samne aaya ki Patricia apne husband Arthur se pareshaan thi aur usse chutkara pana chahti thi. Michael, jo Michelle ka boyfriend tha, usne bhi iss scheme mein hissa liya aur aakhirkar Arthur Burney ki goli maar kar hatya kar di gayi.
Jald hi, police ne teeno ko giraftar kar liya. Michelle ke maamle ko ek juvenile case ke taur par dekha gaya kyunki uski umar sirf 14 saal thi. Court mein, Michelle ne apni bhumika sweekar ki aur usey ek juvenile detention facility bhej diya gaya. Wahiin, Michael Richardson aur Patricia Burney par first-degree murder ka case chala aur unhe kadi saza mili. Michael ko life imprisonment mili, jabki Patricia ko bhi ek lambi saza sunayi gayi.
Aaj sawal yeh uthta hai ki Michelle Burney ab kahan hai? Kyunki uska case juvenile court mein chala tha, to usey adult criminals ki tarah saza nahi mili. Juvenile system ka maqsad rehabilitation hota hai, isliye Michelle ko ek reform center bheja gaya jahan uski counseling aur education par dhyaan diya gaya. Reports ke mutaabik, Michelle ko ek certain age tak custody mein rakha gaya, lekin uske baad usey riha kar diya gaya.
Kyunki juvenile cases mein records confidential hote hain, is wajah se Michelle Burney ki exact location ya uski ab ki zindagi ke baare mein zyada jaankari available nahi hai. Lekin aise cases mein aksar yeh dekha jata hai ki juvenile offenders ko naye naam aur naye identity ke saath society mein wapas bhej diya jata hai taaki wo ek naya jeevan jee sakein.
Aaj Michelle Burney ek naye naam aur naye shahar mein ek normal zindagi jee rahi ho sakti hai. Shayad usne apni purani zindagi ko pichhe chhod diya ho aur ek sudhri hui zindagi jee rahi ho. Magar yeh sach hai ki uska beeta hua kal hamesha uske saath rahega. Arthur Burney ki hatya ek aise crime ki kahani hai jisme emotions, greed, aur manipulation shamil thi. Michelle ek aise gunah mein shamil thi jo ek bachpan ki bhool bhi thi aur ek bada apradh bhi. Aaj bhi log sochte hain ki kya Michelle apni zindagi mein aage badh payi hai ya nahi, magar iska jawab sirf wahi de sakti hai.
