How many billions a year does the state spend on schools and educational institutions and prisons.. ??
IT seems to have been a complete waste.
In Jewish law, one becomes an adult at 13.
Does the Court really mean to say teenagers cannot be held accountable for the consequences of their conduct?
Apparently, it did. Criminality shouldn’t be excused on account of youth.
Sorry murderers should not get special treatment because they murder at an earlier age than other murderers.
This is complete bs and minimizes the murdered victims life.
Too bad your murderer got you before an arbitrary age number, we may have been able to lock her away for life. Not anymore.
So the CSC can just make stuff up like the USSC? Kewl.
Life is sure getting cheap in the good ol USA.

Wait. Not responsible enough to be held accountable to the max for committing heinous crimes but as a juvenile they have mental and emotional development enough to decide they are homosexual or transgender or to have an abortion without a parents consent? Liberals having it both ways!!!
Why not?!
Do they want to let them out so they could murder many more people ?
Can the courts also “un-kill” the victims?
Actions with permanent results should have the potential for permanent punishments. That may have been phrased inarticulately but I think you guys get the point.
premeditated murder - send them to the Big Judge....
manslaughter..... different can of sardines...
The problem, of course, is that most heinous young offenders are that much WORSE than the general pop criminals. Some of the early adolescent offenders are chilling at a spiritual level. It is as though there is nothing within them but a void.
What sort of name is Tyris Franklin?
The problem in this country is judges subverting the will of the citizens and legislating from the bench. They should be impeached, removed from office in derision, and their rulings vacated.
