The grandfather of a 9-year-old Upland boy whose body was found in a ravine says he bares no malice but wants to “see justice” in the case. Four teen-agers were arrested, but prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to link them to the death of Jason Lea. “I don’t have anything against teen-agers, and I don’t want to see anyone suffer,” Gerry Yeager, Jason’s grandfather, said through the Adam Walsh Child Resource Center in Westminster. “I just want to see justice.” A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m. today at the 11th Street Baptist Church in Upland. A funeral will be held in Houston, Tex., where the boy’s mother lives.
