What about "Kids" who don't kill?

LWOP?

Can you see both sides?


GANG RAPE and TORTURE OF A CHILD

What would you do if you were a judge?


Jakaris Taylor was 15 and Nathan Walker was 16 when they joined as many as eight other young men who barged into a Dunbar Village apartment two years ago, gang-raped a 35-year-old woman and tortured her 12-year-old son.

Unlike Graham and Sullivan the Dunbar Village case presents a far more difficult issue because the crimes are so severe that they come close to murder.

The speakers on this website are not "shouters".  They have a deep command of the issues and can see both sides. 

CRIME VICTIMS
AGAINST THE RELEASE OF ADULTS WHO COMMITTED MURDER WHEN UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE 



In November, the United States Supreme Court will decide whether ALL murderers who were under 18 at the time of their crimes should be provided the opportunity for a parole hearing and possible release.

We are the families of murder victims and we oppose this blanket amnesty for these most heinous of killers.

We are members of NOVJL - National Organization of Victims of Juvenile LWOP'ers
