They were very lenient on their sentences for the seriousness of their crime. I believe that it was fair because of their age as they were minors, but if they were adults, they would have spent years in jail, In particular with Shanae as she did murder someone. Shanae in the beginning seemed did not seem very remorseful for her crime, but as you stated it might have been in denial. She was young when she committed her crime, she might not have been able to see the seriousness of her action. If she were an adult and murdered someone there would have likely not been a second chance, and she would have never been able to rehabilitate.
