They said he will probably get 25 years minimum. It can carry a sentence of 25 years to life.
I am not really sure what my stance on all this is but I almost cried thinking about how this boy will be at least 40 when he gets out. I know that he still has his life as opposed to the man he killed. But sometimes I wonder if some of these kids resort to this from lack of parenting, guidance and love at home. Sure they know right from wrong and that death is final, but I wonder if they've been taught any other way to handle their emotions or deal with problems. I only say this because I believe most parents today are crappy. They want to have children, feed and cloth them but that's it. They are selfish and do not want to put their own desires and feelings aside for their children's well-being which is absolutely wrong. I just know of a lot of kids that while they know right from wrong, they still do wrong because they just want attention any way they can get it or they're just so confused by all of their emotions and they have no one to help them through it so they do whatever. I just feel for everyone involved.
