Ok, but a judge who has seen ALL the evidence and is tasked to adjudicate according to the law has determined these two to be guilty! Case closed.

Judges, nor juries, are not above misguided paternalism.

So true (case in point: Roberts and Obozocare) but if that is so in this case, we have a system that deals with it accordingly. You could debate that this system is corrupt due to activist judges but it is what it is.
Got to wonder why no jury trial for these two...because they are juveniles?
Or did their lawyers know they would be dealt with more harshly by a jury?
