    1. If you don't want your kid executed, maybe work towards abolishing capital punishment. 2. The kid brutally killed a guy and tried to rope his friends into participating along the way, and the only thing the defense can say is, "OK, he screwed up this time, but he'll be better in a few years"?? There is a case from 2017 in Michigan where a bunch of teenage boys who killed a guy by throwing a rock from a highway overpass. The oldest kid got 3 years and was released January 2021, one kid got his charges dropped, the rest got probation. These kids were chucking rocks at speeding cars, ended up killing one man, and laughed about it until they were arrested. As you might imagine, the victim's family was quite upset by how this case turned out.

    The episode of Law & Order is called Teenage Wasteland episode 12 of season 11 and originally aired on NBC on February 7, 2001 and in the episode a group of teenagers are arrested for the murder of a Chinese restaurant owners and in the episode the Interim District Attorney D.A. Nora Lewin played by Dianne Wiest must decide whether or not to seek the death penalty against the eldest teenager of the group and the eldest teenager Mitch Regan is played by Alex Feldman and the episode is one of my favourite episodes of the series and a lot of moral and ethical issues are brought up in the episode like it is appropriate to seek the death penalty for a man who is a barely an adult and still a teenager who has a history of violence and apparently committed the crime simply because he wanted to kill someone and it is an emotional and intense episode too, I love L&O and it is the best.

    Bringing in the age, the race, all that stuff into questioning is just wrong. That adult, yes adult, killed another adult in cold blood, beat him mercilessly, and made sure to finish the job with no regard for life or getting caught. No person just regresses from that, no person can truly change back after such disregard to another human being. They can only get worse, especially if you give them the chance to. It wasn’t an accident, it wasn’t a crime of passion. It was horrible and cruel, just for the heck of it. He deserves what he gets, a painless injection, 1000 times more merciful than what he gave that poor man.

    I used to think years ago after watching this that this was an over the top use of the death penalty statute... but nowadays i agree with you completely. Any argument against seeking the death penalty for this crime would be clouded by emotion and not facts. It fit the statute perfectly. He planned this crime from the start and essentially, this man was tortured. Crimes like this are what that statute was written for. To avoid using it for any reason just isnt sound judgement.

    Actually, in this instance, the lawyer tried to plead guilty to life imprisonment before McCoy could file an application for the death penalty but McCoy had it overturned. The argument was never about whether or not to hold him accountable. The argument was about killing him versus just sending him to prison. And McCoy was right, it would not be fair to the victim or anyone they did decide to execute to not treat him as an adult.

    Your issue with the death penalty should be that because of a rigged, and often corrupt, justice and legal system; cops can brutalize kids and adults into false confessions, juries can, because of the leeway that both lawyers and cops are provided, convict defendants due to skewed information, manipulated data, and false testimonies, and clever speechifying. A lot of innocent people have been put to death. It's just as easy to give someone a sentence of life without parole, or life with the possibility of parole after 20-30 or even 50 years. All of that is possible, and should be done until we fix a truly broken system.

    I remember this episode. I used to be angry that they decided to pursue the death penalty here. But now I understand why they did. This was a heinous crime, it fit the statute perfectly. Anything about his age (as long as he's old enough, which he is) is an emotional argument and thus invalid. The law is facts, not emotions. And like it or not, what he did fit the statute and it has to be applied fairly. We can debate all we want what went wrong in this young man's life, and we should...But the fact remains that he committed an absolute monstrosity on an innocent man, and planned it from the beginning.

    while that may seem to be a harsher sentence in that he would suffer much much longer he doesn't deserve to live out his life in any manner and to do so would actually be showing mercy that the victim never got. Plus that's a lot of tax dollars wasted. Think of what could be done with a the money spent on incarcerating animals for most of (if not all of) their lives. Death penalty needs to be used more often and the sentences carried out much sooner. No spending 10-20 (or more) years on death row.

    I'm personally against the death penalty. Capital punishment is just legalized murder. Two wrongs don't make a right. Anyone who commits the heinous crime of murder should be sent to prison for the rest of his life with no eligibility to apply for parole. The definition of 'life in prison' should be just that, the remainder of the murderer's life. The current definition of '25 years to life' is wrong.

All of those factors add up along with the fact that the man was restrianed, disoriented from the beating and still under the blanket. They could have easily left him there breathing and alive, he finished him off when he thought he saw their faces by caving in his skull of a complete stranger.
