If you use current laws why did you have to go back 50 years to find a
case to support your argument? Don't you see my point? The case you used
was not under the guidelines of the current laws.

Oh since kids kill we should just turn our heads? I mean they are just
innocent children right? I don't buy that, I live under the policy if
you're old enough to do the crime your old enough to accept the
punishment. No matter who kills their victims are still dead and justice
needs to be carried out. BTW those men sitting on death row seems to me
they at least got something their victims didn't a chance to prepare and
to say good-bye to their families, why is it that we should listen to
the pleas of the murderers when they themselves decided to ignore the
pleas of their victims? What makes them better than the people they
murdered?

Then you should have known that your argument and example didn't match
up.
