The punishment should fit the crime.

Before they were harshly punished for simple crimes such as making a prank phone call. I think the boy needs to be more closely looked at. He could need psychiatric help. I think that he should go through a series of tests while in an institution. That way he can be watched by psychologist; and they can determine what kind of life he has at home. And maybe help find the reasonings as to why he had done this. I don't think he should be sentenced to death. I don't think it is ok at any age for the death pently. I think sitting in a jail cell, and having to relive the reasons as to why you are behind bars, and having to deal with the conditions in a jail is much more punishment than by killing them to put them out of their misery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-9481276116512722712008-12-08T17:36:00.000-05:002008-12-08T17:36:00.000-05:00Devin PowellPeriod 4I believe that the juvenile co...Devin Powell<BR/>Period 4<BR/>I believe that the juvenile court system should remain as is for the most part. Although I'm not aware of what is involved in the collection of this fact, I know that there are certain aspects of maturity that have been proven to show only in adults, such as decision making. However, I feel that exceptions should be made for certain individuals. For example, if a child or teenager has a long history of crimes committed and they have performed multiple serious crimes, then they should be tried as adults. However, if there is no criminal history, then serving trial as a child might get good results the first time a child is punished.Devin Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437249315423521427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-55407174274190880692008-12-08T07:39:00.000-05:002008-12-08T07:39:00.000-05:00christian rozoprd 5 i think he should be tried ...christian rozo<BR/><BR/>prd 5<BR/><BR/> i think he should be tried as adult cuase look at what he did he raper and murder her it think he should be charged as an adult it doesnt matter the age beside if your younnger the ten but obve that i think the now what there doing there old to now whats wrong from right they should fully charge him as an adult cause he now what he didi wa wrongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-49295450139054753642008-12-07T23:16:00.000-05:002008-12-07T23:16:00.000-05:00Personally, I think if a minor that commits a crim...Personally, I think if a minor that commits a crime that is questionable for being tried as an adult, it should be.

Children 13 and older, should have a sense of right and wrong. Dont ya think that a 15 year old murderer knows what he did wrong? This boy wanted to act like an adult and commit an adult act, then he should pay the consequences like an adult for his horrible actions.

First, I'll start by saying I think the proper age at which a juvenile should be tried as an adult is 17. 17 is the real turning point of becoming an adult. A 17 year old makes choices for himself/herself, drives, works, and could possibly be living in their own house and paying their own bills. A kid under the age of 17 should not be tried as an adult because they simply aren't an adult so it makes sense not to try them as an adult. Also, I think kids deserve a second chance especially if they commit a fellony at a young age. I believe that because you cant lock them up for life or kill them since they aren't fully developed into the adult stage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-4851737196262696362008-12-07T20:10:00.000-05:002008-12-07T20:10:00.000-05:00Chris JonesPd. 1I think that juveniles shouldn't b...Chris Jones<BR/>Pd. 1<BR/><BR/>I think that juveniles shouldn't be tried as adults. I think that because there mental state hasn't reached the mature state. Don't get me wrong though I still think they should be accountable for what they have done but not sent to jail for it. I think that age should determine the punishment due to their mental maturity state. I think that the age appropriate is 18 because by that time the person most likely has matured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-11331704033041081382008-12-07T19:50:00.000-05:002008-12-07T19:50:00.000-05:00Starsea RodriguezPrd: 3 I believe that the court ...Starsea Rodriguez<BR/>Prd: 3<BR/><BR/> I believe that the court system on how juveniles and adults are punished is fine how it is right now. Although, there are some things that I don't agree with. When someone does something bad I am sure that 65% or more new what they were doing. Younger people have the ability to do something without over thinking it through. Which this leads me to my point that I think adults and juveniles should be punished accordingly to their age and their actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-91626985695577833332008-12-07T19:47:00.001-05:002008-12-07T19:47:00.001-05:00tanner garbutt pd.1i do think that minors should ...tanner garbutt<BR/> pd.1<BR/><BR/>i do think that minors should be charged with the same offense as an adult because, obviosuly if you were proven guilty meaning that you comitted that crime, you knew what you were doing! i think the consequences should revolve around how serious the crime you were convicted of. no matter what the age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-47671038988592854412008-12-07T19:47:00.000-05:002008-12-07T19:47:00.000-05:00Emily Barnardpd 4 =)okk i think that its dumb to l...Emily Barnard<BR/>pd 4 =)<BR/><BR/>okk i think that its dumb to lower the adult age. if a kid between the ages 13-17 does an adult crime, their old enough to know wat that is. so they should get charged for an adult crime. just because the 14 year old is a minor doesnt mean he should get less punishment then he deserves. he understands wat he did nd how are the girls parents gonna feel about that.? if hes gonna start complaining that hes a minor then he shouldnt have done an adult crime.<BR/><BR/>i think the adult age is perfectly fine were its at nd that the government needs ta stop trying to change the laws everytime they get in a tough situation nd have ta think a little. =DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070649671280578044.post-62701569102486781162008-12-07T18:53:00.000-05:002008-12-07T18:53:00.000-05:00I think he should be tried as adult because he com...I think he should be tried as adult because he committed an adult crime.He knew exactly what he was doing and he knew how wrong it was. this would be different if it was a crime of a less caliber and he honestly didn't know it was wrong.

Now if it was something more serious like killing someone as that kid meantioned in the article then he should be tried as an adult. Reason being is he raped and killed a 14-year-old girl. Why would a 15-year-old kid be raping and killing someone? If they really want to do that then they should be getting punished. Now if he was tried for an adult and he would have to serve 10 years then i think that's a little crazy for a 15-year-old even though he did kill someone.
