I don't believe in life sentences for anyone. It's a drain on resources. If you are not getting out then you need to be taken out back and shot.

They killed more people?

rolandsmartin Trayvon Martin (17) and Tamar Rice (12) were unarmed children shot by grown men. These murderers were given a second chance.

Will their victims be getting a second chance too?

🤔

Why are they serving life tho? Does a teen who murdered someone deserve a 2nd chance? How about a rapist or child molester? keepthemlockedup

If you don't know what you did was wrong as a teenager, you don't deserve to be free and possibly procreate.

After 2016 ruling, battles over juvenile lifer cases persistLocked up for life at 15, Norman Brown remains defined by the crime that put him behind bars. Twenty-seven years ago, Brown joined a neighbor more than twice his age to rob a jewelry shop in Chesterfield, Missouri, and the man shot the owner to death. The shooter was executed. But state officials, bound by a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, pledged to give Brown an opportunity to get out — then rejected parole in a process a federal judge ruled recently must be overhauled.

His adjustment is going to be difficult.
