Members mdrake34 Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 No I mean how could you possibly argue FOR that Not to hijack the thread, but the jist of the argument for it is that in the US, before the Supreme Court's decision in Graham v. Florida (which in 2010 declared it unconstitutional to sentence any non-homicide juvenile offender to life without parole) 37 states, along with the District of Columbia and Federal government had statutes authorizing this sentence. Even though only 123 juveniles were serving this sentence as of the date of that case, it was still proof that there is arguably a national consensus in favor of this sentencing practice (the people elect their state legislators who in turn enact these laws, if the citizens are displeased with the laws they will elect new representatives, etc . . .). Lastly, there are a handful of cases where a juvenile commits so horrific a crime that he is arguably "sufficiently depraved" to justify this sentence. It's not a perfect argument, feel free to pick it apart, call me an idiot, etc . . . The professor said we had to argue both sides in the paper, and I did.

And it sounds like you've done so in a perfectly sensible way. I'm just horrified that there is a consensus for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdrake34 Posted April 10, 2011 Members Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hey, it's academic, he probably did it to see how you'd go about it. And it sounds like you've done so in a perfectly sensible way. I'm just horrified that there is a consensus for that. I see merit in both sides of the argument. I have a problem with the general proposition of locking up a kid for the rest of his life when he didn't commit murder; however, the dissent in Graham (arguing for allowing this sentence in very rare instances) recounted the facts of a case in Oklahoma where a 16 year old kid got a ride home from a party with a 17 year old girl, and along the way they stopped for some reason and he put her head in a headlock and slashed her throat, raped her, stabbed her 20 more times, beat her, then finished by beating her face into rocks on the side of the road where they stopped. Somehow, the poor girl survived. That kid {censored}ing deserves to be in prison the rest of his life. He was 16; still technically immature and arguably not fully culpable, but I doubt he'd ever contribute to society the rest of his days. So, I tend to agree more with the dissent because the majority in Graham announced a categorical rule making it unconstitutional to sentence any juvenile to life without parole. I think the system was fine before, where it was used extremely rarely, but in cases like the one in Oklahoma it's available for a truly horrific kid. Just my $0.02.
