17 year old teenager tried for attempted murder as an adult and is imprisoned for 25 years
I'm curious, do the courts pick and select whether a kid gets tried as an adult or not? Or are certain crimes such as murder and rape so serious that they have to be tried in adult courts.
I see stories of some young kids getting away with serious crimes for being underage, but at the same time in cases like this a 17 year old ran someone over with a car and got 25 years.
Does it vary state by state in the US? Whats the purpose of a chlldrens court if you still get tried as an adult. Not defending this loser btw, I think he deserves 25 years after I watched the sickening video
