Questions I came up with.
- Should minors be sentenced to death?
- Should a person spend most of thier life in prison for a crime they committed when they were young?
- Does this violate a persons right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under the 8th Amendment of the United States Constitution?
What my classmate added.
- Minors should not get the death penalty; they should not be charged as adults.
- Why do they, or why should they be tried as an adult?
- They should never get more than two years, unless they become a repeat-offender.
What another classmate added.
- It all depends on the age. e.g. 16-19. Old enough to know right from wrong.
- No juvenile death penalty.
- No lifetime imprisonment unless criminal behavior continues.
- Death penalty is never moral.
Do different states have different opinions on the death penalty?
What criteria is involved when sentencing a juvenile to death?
