Should The 8-Yr. Old Arizona Boy Who Committed Two Murders Be Tried As An Adult?
I don't think we should charge little children with murder & try them as adults. Even if the crime is "heinous". The 8-yr. old boy who killed his father & a male boarder in Arizona should not be prosecuted as an adult. Of course, I don't know all of the circumstances.When I learn more about this case, my opinion will remain the same. Children can & should be rehabilitated in a juvenile setting. No child should ever be sent to prison where they will be amongst hardened adult male criminals. Whatever chance that child had at redeeming themselves would evaporate. Prison is no place for a child.
