I think it's pretty harsh that you seem unable to care about the actual victims and focus more on the little bastard that (allegedly) committed the crime. Are you European?
U.S. is not alone to have separate systems like this and this kind of discussion isn't held in U.S. only. I can't imagine a higher stress on any court system than situations like theese and my interest is in what parameters lies behind deciding wich system to prosecute under. Age is obviously one, ability to conduct a fair trail would be another - considering the nature of the crime - and finally how to deal with the outcome of such a trial (there might be a lack of competence, facilities and other issues with the juvenile system).
And obviously you have no idea of what I care about.
If the primary drive behind putting a 12 year old on trail as an adult and wishing for him "to fry" is solely about revenge for the victims, then I must ask: Are you from Afghanistan? Hell, we might even hire the Talibans to teach us about behaving civilized!
Our Court systems must both protect the Public and seek Justice for the Public. Putting this monster in a Juvenile prison and then letting him go in 7 years is NOT Justice and it is NOT protecting society, He should not be around other kids and he should never be released for the 2 MURDERS he committed.
Doing that tells this little turd that life means nothing at all. From what I can glean from this he MURDERED her because she was going to be in his life permanently. In other words for jealousy and possession. He made a decision far beyond that of a normal 11 year old and deserves to be treated as an adult.
We need to start putting slime like YOU in prison...your language makes me sick...modern science and brain imaging is revealing that previous theories of cognitive development are wrong. At 11 years old, the human brain is no where near the development of an adult.
There is strong evidence that the responsibility of driving a motor vehicle, a potential murder weapon, should be raised to at LEAST 18...
If you believe an 11 year old should be held to the same laws as an adult, let's lower the driving and drinking age to 11...THEN you'll see a REAL reason to be concerned about protecting the Public
