they should be put away for 4 life times. not life. a "life" sentence in the great ol' US of A means 20-50yrs. not the criminals entire life until they die. from now on, they need to keep whatever evil person who do these ugly crimes in jail, solitary forever or if they're a habitual offender for violent crimes, death penalty. letting them out 20yrs later will do nothing but make them go back to exactly what they were doing.

Wendellcatlover, they can be put away for life but state law prohibits prosecutors from seeking the death penalty for anyone under 18.

"State law bars prosecutors from seeking the death penalty in murder cases where the defendants are younger than 18."

If they commit adult crimes, then they need to do adult time! Quit coddling these little trouble makers! They murdered an innocent man who happened to be down on his luck and was just a victim of opportunity for the little punks. Try them as adults and put them away for life!!!

I would love to see these people tried as adults, unfortunately we will all be on the hook financially for their future care since the law does not allow for the death penalty for individuals under 18.
