She was 13 years old.
Are you saying that to diminish her crime, or to highlight the violations against her by the guards?
Both are still separate issues and should be treated as such.
She was 13 years old.
What happened to her was wrong.
That doesn't change the fact that she, and her friends, are murderers and deserve to spend a long time in a real correctional facility. They literally swarmed and murdered a man over a bottle of liquor at the ages of 13-16. They aren't children, they are teenagers, and absolutely knew what they were doing and thought they could get away with it.
Low and behold, a light sentence for a violent criminal. With likely more light sentences to come for the rest of them.
ADHD isn't an excuse for murder. Her age doesn't change the crime. Peer pressure is a bullshit excuse.
Every person involved with strip searching a minor seven times, and not getting her to her court dates, should also face the full extent of the law. Which as you were already told is a separate issue from the murder that took place, and shouldn't impact the sentencing of a murderer.
She was 13 years old.
As you have said ad nauseam.
Try speaking to the points instead of hiding behind a violent criminals age. Might help you make an actual point here.
13 year old know murder is wrong... But keep trying...
Guess you're not qualified to be a judge in Canada then.
