11 Year-Old Murders 8 Year-Old

Obviously you don't get the distinction between the bleeding heart approach and what's reasonable for a society. As I said, that guy has serious mental problems. Even if tried as an adult, he will come out at some point. Untreated, made worse by the prison system, probably a career criminal or serial offender.

On the other hand you might read up on the works of John Douglas and Hazlewood, who were prominent FBI profilers and forensic psychologists. At the age of 11 you can still catch them. At the age of 21 or whenever he's supposed to come out, the train has left the station. To the detriment of society.

Maybe so, but haven't you noticed the huge rise of insanity pleads for murder trials these days? There aren't that many crazy people you know. I smell a thief trying the desperate back-door on this one.

But If he indeed was crazy and didn't know what he was doing, the you are right.

IMO not only are children not responsible but although adults are fully responsible by age 18 legally... some people take years more to mature, maybe to fully mature most people take to age 25+... some people never mature

Legally it's justifiably 18 though.

lol. So If I microwaved a cat when I was seventeen (literally a few months back) I would possibly a lighter sentence for animal cruelty. Either aging sucks, or we have an infantile judiciary system on our hands.

Oh....so you're not 45 like your profile says?
