You have to prove they knew or intended to kill
If not then second degree at most or more likely manslaughter of the highest level
That’s just the laws
If you think they are soft then work to change them...no offense...I usually agree with you
I agree the bag dropper should have gone to reform school
I don’t think he should have been executed
Things are not always simple and easily punished
Now my term to be hyperbolic
Anybody here want to execute 13-14 year olds?
Anybody want to pull the lever...
I confess I’m prejudiced....I was once that age and have three boys
11, 14, 17
I agree with the way you have stated your perspective here.
I’m not comfortable with altering the premeditation requirement of first degree murder.
There was a horrible moral deficiency that led to this act. While I don’t think they should be executed or even given long prison sentences, it’s an injustice to simply sentence them to “community involvement”.
Damned straight I’d pull the lever!
How many of these little monsters you want to send off to “reform school” to become polished felons looking to reek havoc on society once they are cut loose on society?
Take a good look at Trayvon Martin and the Parkland shooter’s history for what the future holds for the sandbaggers
This judge doesn’t have the intelligence to be making these kind of decisions.
