2nd chance 30 years later .. at 47 .. im sure they arent about to rob, rape and murder anytime soon. If i was the same person i was at 17 (15 years ago) i would probably be in a jail now.. people change as they get older... You think that 17 year old is going to be the same person at 47? Hell no.

I just dont think sticking a needle in the arm of a 16/17 year old is punishment.. its the easy way out.. Its vengence for the family.. but thats not part of the law.

If it isn't justice how is it all of our states at the time of the Constitution had the death penalty? It wasn't until very recently that such a punishment was stricken from the books.

That's your sensibility but it's not part of our tradition or culture.

2nd chance 30 years later So you are okay with the idea of murders being released while the families still grieve and release these monsters that are now free to roam the streets again.

And your logic is wrong since the average amount of prison served for juvenile killers is jut 6 YEARS!
