Laura Szendri
I read the story of Laura Szendri's murder, and though the murderer was shy of eighteen, I am glad he was tried as an adult. Though this is my opinion and it may not be shared by all, I believe that the murderer committed a crime in which he negated any chance of being seen as a child under the law. It is my belief the judge made a good decision, as the crime committed was not childish or mischievous; it was malicious and insidious. I think that one who takes another's life should pay consequences regardless whether or not they are under eighteen; they have stolen life from the victim and a loved one from those who were close to the victim.

Nicely worded post, Colton. I agree that the suspect was old enough to make the decision of whether or not to kill Szendri and should thus be tried as an adult. He willingly committed murder, making the choice a fully grown adult would make in his place and should therefore face the same consequences a grown man would for a cold blooded murder.
