Posted by Bruised at 12:51am Feb 23 '09If teen-agers, and even adults, even adults in their nineties occasionally, are "mature" enough that most people agree they should be tried as adults, and they still murder people -- thousands of murders by adults in the U.S. each year -- how do we know for sure that any given child wouldn't have murdered the person he murdered if he (or she) were older?
Suppose you had a remote viewing machine and could look into this 11-year-old's future. You saw that he grew up still murdering people as an adult, and was a red-blooded, cold-blooded killer. In other words, his motivation to murder had nothing to do with his age or a "lack of life experience". Then would you still want him to be tried as if he is under 14?
