"Imposition of a State's most severe penalties on juvenile offenders cannot proceed as though they were not children," Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the court's majority.
Has it occurred to this hack that imposition of less than a state's most severe penalties on brutal murderers cannot proceed as though they were not brutal murderers?
Hyde instructed Hernandez to walk to Kmart and buy him a knife, then lure a man to the house so he could rob and kill him . . . stabbed 25 times, his head nearly severed . . . Along with Hyde's hair, two strands of Hernandez's hair were found in the blood on Cotaling's hand . . .
I hope Hernandez finds Jesus and finds God's forgiveness, and I am happy to forgive her, but I am not willing to gamble the lives of other innocents on her sincerity. Perhaps if she is released as Kagan wishes, she can move in with Kagan. I am more than willing to gamble Kagan's life on a foolish degree of liberal optimism.
Hernandez got the full service, jury trial and all. Kagan can mind her own business
