The Constitution has given the accused the rights to a fair trial,to assembly,petition,self defense, and to vote. The Constitution also says there will not be excess bail or fines and no cruel and unusual punishment such as the Roper v Simmons case. The trial took three years to resolve the person who was of 16 years of age at the beginning of the trial and once it was resolved was 18 would not be given the death penalty. So in the end the death penalty will not be put under the age of 18 even if they turn 18 by the end of the trial.
