ORIGINAL: BoiJen I do think the guilty in such a case should be executed. I do think this boy is guilty. Isn't the American justice system awesome in that because of those things, I wouldn't be on his jury trial? Not backpedaling. Just stating the difference between your perception and my reality. You never answered me, how old does someone have to be so you can give them lethal injection? I don't think there should be limit. If someone can premeditate to kill someone, no matter what their age, they shouldn't be given a free ride on other people's dime (which would cost less if we didn't give guilty people 100 million chances at appeals...I personally think someone should get two chances to appeal the case and then be left with whatever the verdict is...it would be much cheaper that way). Alas, I don't make the laws, I just vote for the people who make them. perhaps you have no knowledge about brain development in kids, how children do not often know the difference between their actions and the consequence,...real and imagined... etc etc etc... I know more about this than you do and I have no background in psychology than a psych 101 course..maybe you haven't had much exposure to psych theory.
