its hard to say a 13 year old should be locked away in a prison with grown men for the rest of his life, i doubt much good will come from that, a child can with love and proper guidance often be rehabilitated and change, however since he knew death was final as someone stated, and that it was wrong (or should have) then he must suffer the consequences of the law (but counseling and love must be a part of that, not just prison walls). If this is the case then what is the cut off age? what has happened in terms of sentencing with other similiar cases, does anyone know? its painful anyway you slice it.
