You should have cancelled your subscripton after they endorsed Ho Chi Kerry in 2004.

I didn’t get it then. They just got a new editor, and thought things might be looking up. Just up the wrong place, I guess.

Splain to me,.. how is a 14 year old killer is not an adult but a 14 year old girl can terminate a pregnancy, without her parents knowledge or consent, cause she’s an adult.

I think they should be forced to live with the prisoners they get released.

Equal Justice Initiative

securing relief for dozens of condemned prisoners, advocated for poor people and develodeveloped legal services for poor people and death row prisoners in Alabama for almost 20 years

So, if he’d been smart enough to hire this attorney earlier, he would have advised him to shoot this kid three weeks earlier?

We will execute a 14-year-old so that boys can wear lipstick and high heels. America’s new higher calling.

Who reads editorials? You like getting yourself all upset? Why don’t you go bang your head against the wall or something more productive?

Actually, we’re excuting him for murder, not because of what the victim chose to wear.

But he’s an adult when it comes to making decisions about sex and should be handed free condoms at school so that he can be protected when he makes the, uh, decision we expect him to make.

The boy's attorney, Brian Vogel, stated that if the shooting had occurred before his client's Jan. 24 birthday, he could not be tried as an adult. "My client hasn't become an adult in the last three weeks," he said.

A year old and a year stupider?

I don’t care if he murdered a Cross Dresser or an Eagle Scout, he should spend the rest of his life in a cage.

I challenge anyone to go to court and see one of these 14 year olds in the court. They have VIOLENT rap sheet with a attitude of no remorse and total indifference to consequences.

The prosecutors routinely try 16 year olds as adults, there is no reason 14 years can’t either.

It is also not “automatic” it has to be requested and proven.

The U.S. Justice Fund is the cornerstone of Open Society Institute's strong commitment to reducing the excessive reliance on punishment and incarceration in the United States, and to promoting fair and equal treatment in all aspects of the U.S. criminal justice system.

Soros Justice Fellowships

The Soros Justice Fellowships support outstanding individuals, including lawyers, advocates, grassroots organizers, activist academics, journalists, and filmmakers, to implement innovative projects that address one or more of the criminal justice priorities of OSI’s U.S. Justice Fund.
