Well Joether...you're right about one thing...he is a criminal. He is...not the gun.
No, actually he is nor a criminal. He may have behaved criminally. But until he states he is guilty as charged, or a jury states he is guilty; he is innocent. That is how the law operates.

As for his braking not being fully functional until the mid-thirties, you must have read different ststudies than I did. Those studies place that age around 24-26. Could you cite your studies?
"....his braking...."
Er....I'm going to say you would have stated the following:
"As for his brain not being fully functional...."
I'm going to assume that is what you had in mind (cus it sucks to be on the receiving end of a grammar nazi, right?).
It has been about two years. The information I want to place as being from the New England Journal of Medicine. But don't quote me on that! The author was explaining several concepts in the article. One was why men have problems with women and infidelity, along with why we consume high sugary foods/drinks even though we know its bad for us. That our brains are still operating on software 'developed' about 100,000 years ago. Interesting stuff, eh?
Anyways, the author noted that the human brain does not see full development until the ages of 30-34. Sooner for women than men. That at the age of 18, the human brain is not fully develop but continuously developing. Which is why its MUCH easier to get a higher college degree when your young then when your in your 50's. There is much in the way of data to support this stuff. Really fascinating stuff!

And to whoever posted about the braking not being fully capable of reasoning being the explanation for Obama's popularity with the young...That may be true but let's not forgive what else he promised them: full or partial forgiveness of student loan debt.
Yeah, dont remind me. Its been blocked by the GOP/TP. But that's for another thread.
While I did find a British study that stated in 2010 that full maturation took place in the mid 30s, most seem to come down on the mid 20s.
At what age is the brain fully developed?
Although brain development is subject to significant individual variation, most experts suggest that the brain is fully developed by age 25. For some people, brain development may be complete prior to age 25, while for others it may end after age 25. The mid-20s or “25” is just an average age given as checkpoint for when the brain has likely become mature.

Understanding the Teen Brain
It doesn't matter how smart your teen is or how well he or she scored on the SAT or ACT. Good judgment isn't something he or she can excel in, at least not yet.
The rational part of a teen's brain isn't fully developed and won't be until he or she is 25 years old or so.
In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain's rational part. This is the part of the bran that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. Teens process information with the amygdale. This is the emotional part.
In teen's brains, the connections between the emotional part of the brain and the decision-making center are still developing. That's why when teens are under overwhelming emotional input, they can't explain later what they were thinking. They weren't thinking as much as they were feeling.

According to recent findings, the human brain does not reach full maturity until at least the mid-20s. (See J. Giedd in References.) The specific changes that follow young adulthood are not yet well studied, but it is known that they involve increased myelination and continued adding and pruning of neurons. As a number of researchers have put it, "the rental car companies have it right." The brain isn't fully mature at 16, when we are allowed to drive, or at 18, when we are allowed to vote, or at 21, when we are allowed to drink, but closer to 25, when we are allowed to rent a car.
