Last year, when his father, Thomas Junta (left) was accused of killing another man in a Massachusetts hockey rink brawl in 2000, 12-year-old Quinlan Junta was a key defense witness for his father. The witness list included 11 children overall. Quinlan’s testimony did not sway the jury: Thomas Junta, 44, was found guilty and sentenced to six to 10 years in state prison.
