Good thing we aren't the justice system.
My question is what is this picture of? The girl that was killed? >

Yes, Kayla Green is the victim. The article doesn’t identify the suspect. >

I see. This is a crappy situation no doubt. Poor kids and damn kids. >

Interesting stuff, in other parts of the country this would get them charged as an adult. At 15 you should know it's not okay to stab someone and death is real. >

at 15 you are still very much developing impulse control
so "knowing" something is wrong isn't why we treat children differently
we treat them differently because their brains are PHYSICALLY different >

So all 15yrs olds can run around stabbing but we’ll get em when they’re older because imPUlsE ConTRol??
Yall knew damn well at 15 not to stab someone. >

She's going to be incarcerated for 9 years. That's not "get em when they're older" that's get em now. These kinds of offenders are the least likely to recommit especially when she's not released until age 24. You're acting like spending the rest of high school and college years in prison is a slap on the wrist. It's absolutely not. >

And in line and possibly even excessive incarceration compared to other developed nations. Our incarceration system is completely out of control and out of touch with addressing the root. It’s a degenerative punishment system. >


possibly even excessive incarceration

Say that to the victims parents....
You don't go from being a perfect innocent well behaved child to stabbing someone to death. 
This girl was a fuck up long before this incident. >

Happy to tell anyone factual information. It is a fact that other countries follow data for their incarceration terms. I didn’t say she was a perfect innocent child. I’d guess she was about opposite, and a product of a bad home and hole life. Punishing a child severely because of the way they were raised and their circumstance is anecdotal. The science behind it says address the poverty, but we just punish poor people in this country. Look at our recidivism rates in this country versus other developed nations. It’s not even close. They follow science, we just punish with cruelly long sentences with no support system. It’s pathetic and disgusting. I’m not discounting this particular crime, because that’s what your tone seems to imply. It’s terrible and she should be held accountable. Go back and re-read my comment. I simply stated the fact that the child’s sentence is in line or possibly excessive compared to other developed nations. Why does hearing a fact trigger you to attack the bearer of said fact? Your position could be to disagree with the laws in other countries, but then you’d be wrong again, because they follow data science, not some archaic sentencing guidelines that are ineffective, well, except for lining the pockets of prison moguls. Our system works pretty well for that. >

Why are some of you analyzing this situation like you were never 15 and knew it was wrong to stab someone? >

Teenagers have been having fights with knives for eons. Wtf lmao. >

should be more than 9 years >

no it should not
15 is not an adult
15 is not a mature brain
enough with the 90's super predator horseshit that ruined so many peoples lives
EDIT
This girl isn't going to learn anything in an American prison
she isn't going to be reformed
she isn't going to come out a better person
she's likely going to be physically and sexually abused and come out more broken than she went in
ensuring even more public spending then the millions already invest in that ONE prisoner 
spending that also accomplished nothing
which is great if you want vengeance
but if you actually want to adresss crime and criminality, you've failed >

she TOOK someones life. Doesnt matter how "mature" she is, she made a decision to murder. 
25 to life, no exceptions. 
Dont wanna spend your life in prison? Dont kill someone. >

You hear that Kyle Rittenhouse? >

Kyle Powerhouse killed pedoes in self defense, hardly relevant in this case. >

He absolutely did not. >

regardless of what you or anyone else thinks of him, a jury of his peers found him not guilty due to self-defense. If this young lady can prove she was defending herself, she should be as free as rittenhose. however, if she kills someone and gets a time out, what is to stop her from killing again next time? >

"OJ didn't murder anyone." - You. >

weather he did or didnt, he was found not guilty. so as far as the justice system he really didnt murder anyone
