Kids' death penalty got an emphasis!
5-4 voted supreme court that kids cannot get a death penalty in USA. It is interesting to say. Some countries has the law for young kids are allowed to put a death penalty. Well, in USA already has the Constitution ban a death penalty of murderers who were less than 18 years old at the time of their crime.
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled the Constitution forbids the execution of killers who were under 18 the time of their crime. The executions, the court said, were unconstitutionally cruel.
72 juvenile murderers are waiting for a death penalty.
I wondered a lot of 16 to 18 years olds knew the wrong and right?
That is my understanding, there are many different ways where they were from.
Their life could be affected by people who taught and confused. Surely, they could be wanted to escape from the dysfunctional families and the reality of life.
Maybe they don't want to live in a productive life out there.
Maybe they do not care about their lives because nobody cares.
Maybe they illusion that played out to get their names on the hall of fame for top criminals. Then they became to be known in their names.
Maybe they had been fed into their minds to do the killing job in order to get money?
Maybe they set up to get their attention of the anger on adults?
I grew up and I was 14, I have been knowledge about murder, rape, assaults, theft, and break the law are wrong. I learned a lot after I got out of high school. I have seen on news on TV, magazines, newspapers, an incident in a front of me and a taste of the reality myself.
I don't understand young kids do not have a feeling or knowledge from the right and wrong. But possibly they received a bad informative, I can understand that.
I have acknowledged that the jail houses are so much crowd.
what do you think of supreme court's vote on for kids on a death sentence?
