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.

No. It just says that after 25 years, he gets a parole hearing.

Well at least murder should certainly not be. Ever.

And for the atheist secular left, the guys who think the only life you have is now, youd think theyd be a little more strict about murder than they actually are.

i can thin of 10 things i did that would have gotten me in trouble had i gotten caught in my teens and early 20s.

some could have recklessly lead to a person dying.
No physical violence at all, just stupid things i did.

i’ve read the brain doesn’t fully develop until 26.

Problem is thee kids aren’t being let out to nice middle class neighborhoods.

right back to the same garbage.

A 15 year old who deliberate murders is not going to magically change at 18.
Manslaughter, though, I might agree with a new review.

Liberals are saying kids this age can decide to have an abortion and have sex changes that can’t really be reversed - but murder an adult, get another chance.
