  4. Thats right. Killing someone and getting 3 years just because your public hairs have not yet been fully grown is not fair

  5. People often debate whether age should protect someone from justice. But when a minor takes a life, the age argument loses weight. Justice systems must prioritize the safety of the community while still providing opportunities for reform.

  8. Rehabilition? Its the Freedom of these countries that have these boys doing that. In Russia or Ukraine or even China…you think you can kill someone and not be executed because you young? Lol. That’s why these countries are run properly and those who claim to be free are really just in hell

  10. I totally agree with Attorney Robinson because teens do know right from wrong and should suffer the sconsequences for their actions. The law does need to be amended because how can you tell me that three years of incarceration is enough time for cold blooded murder? Life behind bars for taking a life seems only fair to me.
