60 minutes. Murder in Vacaville

Description

In a small town in northern California, a kid was stabbed to death during a 1997 street fight. The kid who did the stabbing confessed and was let off with probation on a weapon charge. The victim's friends were charged with murder. As Bob Simon reports for 60 Minutes, the handling of this case may be connected to the fact that the kids charged with murder are Hispanic, while the confessed killer, who got off, is not.
