Do you think his parents raised him to commit acts of crime? Do you think that his background made him do it? You have got to be kidding me. A little background information for you Freedom of Speech in Texas, he comes from a wonderful family, all of who are very educated! Some members have their Bachelor degrees while others such as his youngest brother has his Masters degree. All of the children were raised the same way, taught the same values and all brought up in the same environment. You cannot honestly believe that garbage you wrote.

While all this may be true, I say to those who want to rehabilitate this troubled youngster - Do you want him living next door to you?

Do you want him living next door to you?

Hughes, Texas Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:15:42 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=18224#comment-64400 It's interesting that such an artificial standard as age is used to defend juvenile offenders, especially those convicted of cold blooded murder. Being able to judge one's own actions is not driven by a person's chronological age. I'm sure there are 15 year olds who demonstrate more wisdom than many adults. Most adolescents instinctively know malicious behavior when they see or act upon it. The one thought young folks typically don't grasp is empathy for victims, especially those victims who are older. Why the Supreme Court is hearing this baffles me. Such hands down malicious and willful criminal acts should adhere to blind justice by rendering judgment on an offenders ability rather than their age.
