It's silly,illogical and just plain wrong to assert that *any* 14 year old is fully formed in terms of conscience,understanding or maturity.The DP can only be justified for people who *are* "fully formed".Of course if a 14 year old commits a serious crime he/she should be subject to *serious* consequences but not the DP.
You can’t back up your contention. It’s all emotion on your part.
Nonsense. What about the 14 year old who raped and murdered his teacher in Danvers, MA last month? Prime candidate for the death penalty, I would think.
Get me a rope.
That’s one opinion. Another is that if you show yourself to be a menace to society by committing murder, execution by the state is in the best interest of society.
