now, objectively, leaving personal feelings aside, please list the reasons you wish to ban life in prison sentences for juveniles.
i can think of no reasons that are not swimming in emotion.
i can imagine someone having a son accused and convicted of murder of a police officer, and having to look him in the face as he is released from prison just a short few years later. this comes under the heading of BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR.
now, turn that around. how can that same parent look the family of the slain police officer in the face after their son was released only a few short years later.
even worse, how can that parent look the family of the NEXT police officer that their son kills in the face?
who's fault would THAT be? each and every person yelling for leniency for that "poor kid" who heinously killed the police officer.
imagine how slow the response time would be if that parent ever needs to make an emergency 9-1-1 call.
