I find the courts ruling weird.
Here, being convicted of rape means 25 to life. And if one is released, one has to spend the rest of the life under police surveilance.
When confronted with trivial offences such as speeding, drug abuse, vandalising or assault - I understand that being under age may have a effect on the ruling being less seviere.
Yet serious crimes are not the kind of crime which one does without taking the consequences seriously even when under aged.
Murder, rape, arson, etc are not exactly something one would see as trivial crimes and there consequences as acceptable - even as a child.
