It took Steven Truscott 42 years to finally get his name cleared. He went through many trials and hearings to finally get the news one day that he was free to go.

Evidences were not conclusive enough to call him guilty. The old man wasn’t quick enough to have seen the boy, the old woman wasn’t wearing glasses to have seen, and the height difference made a difference in the stab

On January 26 he was found hung from his cell in which the case that he committed suicide. He was only seventeen, five feet two inches tall, and weigh about 225 pounds and sadly died because he had no protection in an adult prison. He just happened to be weak and had no real help with the people who should've been helping him. I personally don't believe children should be tried as adults because of the way we have deal with children who commit crimes, we need to change the way we sentence them because they are in danger in adult prisons, and we do not rehabilitate them.

Prior to his arrest and conviction, Brendan Dassey was a 16-year-old high school sophomore, and was described as a very shy boy who didn’t say much and a slow learner with “really, really bad grades” (Dassey v. Ditmann). He had no prior contact with law enforcement, and in school, he followed the rules and didn’t cause any trouble. However, Dassey also suffered from intellectual deficits, such as a “low average to borderline IQ,” difficulties in understanding certain aspects of language, difficulties with expressing himself verbally, as well as difficulties in the “social aspects of communication,” which included “understanding and using nonverbal cues, facial expressions, eye contact, body language, [and] tone of voice” (Dassey v. Ditmann). Due to his intellectual deficits,

Sentence was passed and in that moment my whole life completely changed. In the background, you could hear the people chant, “Justice has finally been served!” They don’t know me I thought. Everybody makes mistakes, right? But, where was my second chance in life. My luck, the death penalty became legal again and eagerly waiting for me to become its newest member. My palms grew sweaty as always when I grew nervous and scared. There was nothing I could do. These people wanted me to pay for what I put them through.

Serial killers have fascinated the imaginations of people for a long time. One of the most notorious serial killers is Jeffrey Dahmer whose gruesome murders shocked the nation. Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer also known as Milwaukee monster was a notorious American serial killer and sexual offender in the 1980s and early 1990s. Between 1978 and 1991 Dahmer had murdered 17 men. His victims were usually raped, tortured, dismembered, and cannibalism was also involved. Jeffrey was a troubled child psychologically and his social skills had a lot to be desired. All the way through his childhood he was ignored and had queer fantasies of cadavers. In his adulthood this psychosocial status quo didn 't change and was in fact aggravated.

Erik Jensen and Nathan Ybanez were both sentenced to life in prison without parole after being charged with felony murder in regards to the death of Nathan’s mother, Julie Ybanez. However, many people believe this sentencing to be too harsh due to the ages of the boys (who were 16 and 17). Many people also believe that Erik Jensen shouldn’t have been given life without parole even if he was an adult because it was never proven that he was involved with the murder, only tampering with evidence, as he helped Ybanez clean up the crime scene and remove Julie Ybanez’s body. Others believe Erik played an equal part of the murder, because he never attempted to intervene, his fingerprints were on the murder weapon, and his knees were covered in Mrs. Ybanez’s blood.

Capital first-degree murder or aggravated first-degree murder is categorized in killings viewed as deserving of capital punishment. Life imprisonment or death penalty is the punishment resulted in a conviction. States who do not recognized the death penalty, aggravated murder carries life imprisonment.

Christopher Simmons was not your typical American teenager. Abused and neglected as a young boy, by the time he was seventeen years old he came a convicted murderer and was sentenced to the death penalty. His case quickly became under fire for overriding his Eighth Amendment right that stated that the federal government cannot impose cruel and unusual punishment upon anyone. Christopher Simmons was old enough and mature enough to understand that what he did was morally and socially wrong. If someone can completely conjure up a murder plot by oneself, then they should be sentenced to the death penalty no matter the age. Simmons should have received the death penalty despite his age at the time of the crime he
