Should a 14 year old mass murderer be tried as an adult or juvinille

A 14 year old in north Carolina killed his father than shot 4 people at an elementary school. One those people later died. The kicker is he's been charged as a juvenile. I didn't even know that was possible in some states. In ga It would been automatically been an adult charge
We all know legal systems aren't morally right that often! That's why I don't view laws as black and white rules

@mrblueforyou: the punishment. A juvenile can only be held until 25 no matter the crime
That's my point. I don't trust the laws to truly seek justice for the innocent. Ever seen Making If A Murderer on Netflix?

I have to check that out

That's murder but it's not mass murder. Though it is INTENT to mass murder. And yes he was fully aware of what he was doing. He literally had to go from point A of the first murder to point B of the second murdering. Totally justifiable as an adult charge.

Totally agree. It's bullshit that he's being charged as a minor when his actions are anything but that!

@WhoIsThatPokemon: in ga there's 12 crimes that are automatically tried as an adult if over 12. 9 of which are murder all has to involve a gun

There would be no question here

They may have charged him as a juvenile so that any conviction wouldn't be overturned because he is one. Old enough to know better than to kill people anyway.

@sassygirl15: sad but they need to be removed from the public, a very real threat to society. I've read about serial murderers and many of them start fantasizing about doing it sometime in their teen years and may act out on it later when they get the nerve to do it.

@cherokeepatti: the state told my mom's friend either put him in a home or they take her other 2. He's in a group home for children 38th severe mental issues.

@sassygirl15: I remember in the 70's there was a boy here in central Oklahoma that was mutilating horses, slashing them. They finally figured out it was him and he was sent to a mental facility and got out when he was 18 and started doing it again. Believe he was convicted and put in prison for it. Someone this past year has been multilating and killing horses and I've wondered if it was that same person doing it once again. Killed several horses and has hurt others that survived.

ANYONE under 18 should be charged as a juvenile.For all crimes.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
The difference between the 2 is the punishment as a juvinelle most he can get is til 25. You think 11 years is enough for a double homicide
EJTOOO · 18-21, F
yes, if they are juveniles. USA is the only advanced western country to do this. only one to execute too.

@EJTOOO: I Dont believe in the death penalty but I think he deserves more than 10 years
