Actually, I don't think any state kills anybody who killed when they were 15. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that under a previous Supreme Court decision, it was already unconstitutional to kill anyone who committed their crime while under the age of 16.
Fine. No state kills 16 year old murders. They kill 26 year olds who bacame murders at 16.
If a 16 year old can be treated as an adult and get the ultimate penality any court can lay upon a man, the i think a 16 year old should be able to drink, join the army, get married in any state, drive in any state and buy firearms.
You cant have it both ways.. Why is a 16/17 year old only an adult when they do something bad?
I didn't mean to come off like I was trying to nitpick your statement, I was trying to add to your argument against the person who was using the example of the 15 year old in the electric chair.
