Teenage Murderers
Teenage Murderers

Section One
My topic is the teenage murderers. Teenagers are capable of committing serious crimes. The question is after they commit a serious crime what should happen to them.
The article “Many Kids called Unfit Adult Trial,” states that teenagers are emotionally & intellectually incompetent to stand trial. Some important ideas from this article are that most teens on trial are equal to mentally ill adults ; thousands of teens were tried when they shouldn’t have been, an teens can’t fully grasp consequences.
The article “Supreme Court to rule on Executing Young Killers,” asks should young teenage killers be executed? Some important ideas from this article are that he
(Robert Acuna) is the latest person to enter death row for a crime committed before age eighteen. The Supreme Court agreed to consider the constitutionality of the juvenile death penalty, and he was laughing at the wrong place and the wrong time.
Another article “Startling Finds on Teenage Brains,” is saying that kids who do these crimes are immature and not thinking their reactions because it says Brazil’s immaturity was evident throughout the trial through the faces he gave. He wasn’t worried “Child is not a man.”
Section Two
This research paper has presented the facts about teenage murderers. Underlying all these facts is one important and controversial question: Should a teenager who commits murder be tried as an adult or as a teenager? In my opinion it depends on how it happen, if it was on accident or on purpose because it could’ve been out of self-defense. The court should not look at the case as if it was an adult instead they should look at them as individual cases.
