Juvenile Life Sentencing Case Study

Improved Essays
I certainly do not believe the judge in Kenneth’s appeal made the correct decision because Kenneth has been rehabilitated there is no other reason why the judge should keep him imprisoned any longer. Kenneth was sentenced at the age of fourteen to four life sentences for his part in the armed robberies taking place at four facilities within a 30 day span with an older adult. In 2010 the court ruled juvenile life sentences are illegal for offences for less than murder. During Kenneth’s appeal the trail was interesting to see their witnessing on both sides and lawyers arguing about his past behavior vs. his progress and current mind state. Kenneth’s background was put on display coming from a drug addicted mother, than dropping out of school

    Many states passed legal reforms designed to get tougher on juvenile crim in the 1980’s. One of the reforms was the revision of transfer laws to expand the types of offenses and offenders eligible for transfer from juvenile court to adult court for trial and sentencing. These lowered the minimum age for transfer , increased the number of transfer-elijinle offenses, and reduced judicial discretion in transfer decision making. Sentencing juvenile delinquents is not a very good thing for many things. Juveniles are children under the age of 18.…

    October 2012. Five boys, Blake Layman and Jose Quiroz both 16 years old, Levi Sparks a year older at 17, Anthony Sharp who was 18 at the time, and Danzele Johnson, aged 21, all broke into a house which they thought was empty in the town of Elkhart, Indiana. None of them were armed when they entered and only one, Sparks, remained outside to act as a lookout. Unfortunately, the five of them were wrong about the house being vacant and when the break-in was over, two of them would end up being shot by the homeowner, Rodney Scott, who was awoken by their intrusion. Danzele would die from his injuries as a result of a gunshot wound to his chest.…

    Marjie Lundstrom wrote an article where Nathaniel Brazil, a middle school boy who shot his English teacher to death because he was not allowed to say goodbye to some girls, was sentenced to life in prison when the juvenile himself did not know the severity of his crime. Brazil was fourteen when he was sentenced to life yet his immaturity and failure to recognize risk and punishments was not taken into consideration. In 2012, the Supreme court ruled that juveniles who committed murder could not be sentenced to life in prison because it is considered cruel punishment, which is against the Eighth Amendment. Juveniles should be punished for their crimes but should not be sentenced to die in prison with no education or rehabilitation because they…

    Children are usually seen as innocent, as they play around with others and are just balls of energy. Often seen as simply kids who have no experience in the outside world until they grow older. However, sometimes a child’s play can go wrong and can affect another’s life. When these incidents happen where a death is involved, it’s often easy for society to look at the offender as a murder who should be in prison for the rest of their life despite what age the offender may be. While juveniles committing heinous crimes should be punished, they should also be given the chance to rejoin society at an appropriate age; therefore juveniles who redeem themselves should be able to get released earlier and be able to put their life together.…

    Good morning. Society is faced with an increasingly growing problem. The problem is that children and teens are committing heinous crimes at a young age. The question is, do we sentence these children and teens to incarceration for the rest of their lives, or do we instead try to rehabilitate these teens and children and find the root causes of these problems? Do we not give them a second chance and let them rot in prison, or do we rehabilitate them and help them become important members of society?…

    Life without Parole Violates Juveniles’ Rights In a 5-4 decision the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that life without parole for juvenile offenders convicted of homicide is cruel and unusual punishment. The Eighth Amendment states “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted” (U.S. Constitution, 1787). Alabama and Arkansas are two states whose court decisions were overturned due to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The Eighth Amendment puts limits on how severely a juvenile’s sentence can be.…

    Sentencing is defined as “the judicial determination of a legal sanction to be imposed upon a person found guilty of an offence” (Goff, 2014, p. 432). In Canada, we have the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA, 2003) instead of the Youth Offenders Act (YOA, 1984) that helps within regards to the punishment of the child between the ages of twelve and seventeen. There will be discussion of the Youth Offenders Act that was replaced and the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the Youth Offender Act. There will be more deciphering to see who gets the harsher sentences in youth that commit crime.…

    Should juveniles be sentenced to life in prison? Some people believe they should because age isn't an excuse for the crimes you commit, but juveniles need to have the opportunity to change. In many cases juveniles should be tried as adults, but never sentenced to life. Think about high school and how much you changed in the four years you were in high school. Now imagine if you had been in high school for 10 years.…

    Today, more youths are involved in gangs, murders, and assaults than history has shown. So, if these children are capable of committing adult crimes, shouldn’t they face adult consequences? It seems that the severity of juvenile crime has risen so much, that it is hard to distinct it from adult crimes. On the other hand, most adult offenders we find today, who commit murder or assault are not first time offenders. The unfortunate thing is that a survey given by the Pretrial Services Resource Center found that an astonishing number of juveniles in adult facilities were charged with nonviolent crimes (ABCNews.com: Juveniles in Adult Jails.…
