Im trying to say that kids that are young do not grasp the idea of what jail and death is yet.

Many don't, **but some do**. Up til now, we let juries decide whether a teen "grasped" the significance of his crime.

Do you really think that a blanket generalization regarding *all* teen criminals is preferable to having each criminal judged on a case by case basis?

More importantly, do you think that *your* preference is Constitutionally required?
