Re: Supremes Strike Down Death Penalty for Juveniles

Does this mean that a murder committed by a teenager causes less harm to the victims loved ones, than one committed by an adult ? Shall we slide further down this slope and decide that anyone committing murder must be out of their mind, and therefor exempt from the death penalty?

The mind's of teenagers are by definition immature, they are however, from about 3 yrs. old , capable of understanding right from wrong.
