Is it fair to try juveniles as adults?
A 10-year-old Lakeside juvenile stabbed his 12-year-old friend. Here is a link to the article: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Lakeside-Stabbing-Child-Identified--137501168.html
A police officer in the article was quoted saying:
"California law does not recognize that a child can commit a crime, so there are many different factors that come into play in this case."
Read the article and write at least a paragraph response.
Should this youth be tried as an adult?
What facts or evidence in the article influenced your perspective/opinion? Use quotes or facts from the article to support your writing the way I did above.
