Death By An Infant
This story is actually a mix of about three terribly misguided kids that have committed a crime. The first story is about Derek King, 14, and his brother Alex, 13, that killed their father by beating him to death with a bat last November, in Florida. They received seven to eight years in prison. Next, Lionel Tate, 14, beat to death a six-year old and he got a life sentence. Then, the last story, Nathaniel Brazill, 14, got twenty-eight years for killing his middle-school teacher. The rest of the arti . . .
cle continues in saying that possibly the cause of them doing this is a combination of bad genes and a bad environment. The kids should have gotten four years (until they turn eighteen) then they should have received therapy and probation, so that someone can help them and monitor them. It will help them to hopefully become stable adults. Right… I don’t to an extent agree with the whole “bad childhood to bad adulthood” thing, but bad genes, no. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be punished, but they ought to have special circumstances. What I also don’t understand is why they didn’t all receive the same punishment? They each killed someone, why would their punishments alter so greatly? I think that it’s absolutely terrible what these boys did. None of them should receive a life sentence, their just kids; they still have yet to finish learning right from wrong and common sense. Genes had nothing to do with killing someone else. Even if your great uncle killed someone doesn’t not mean your going to do it too. What I mean is that I don’t think that what they did was intentional, but still very severe. I think that parents are just trying to find an excuse to blame all of the boys’ behavior on. The courts really should have considered this, and paid special attention to it. Even though they are teenagers, they may not have known that what they were going to do would result in death.
