    This is very close to my heart and something that I have thought about in passing occasionally. I have never been in a situation that could apply to his personally in anyway so please don't try to insert me into the logical brain game.

    In a hypothetical situation a 15 year old commits homicide. In the United States he would almost certainly be adjudicated delinquent and serve 3 or 6 years in a juvenile correctional institution.

    However what happens if they don't figure out who committed the homicide until he is an adult. Let's say 19. Is he tried as an adult for something he did as a child and given 20, 30, Life? Or do they say hey u were a kid when u did this so we're only gonna give u 3 years FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER?

    Is he culpable as an adult because he got away with something for four years? Is it the fault of the justice system for not catching a juvenile offender right away? What do your think?

    I've always been curious. Cuz you kill someone at 19, first degree you're looking at anywhere from 17 to death. YOu do it as a 14 year old you're looking at 7 years probably, most likely like 5.

    So what happens when you're an adult and they realize you killed someone when you were younger and now you're an adult? They can't just give you a couple years in adult prison for first degree homicide?

    Discuss. If this gets attention I will post another perplexing situation when I think of it.

    I don't think he can be tried as an adult, he would be tried as whatever age the crime was committed at

    Eh just probably give him 2 years probation and a deferred sentence of a year. We're talking USA justice system right? If they catch him as an adult oh well he's probably rehabilitated anyway who gives a fuck

    Funny you should bring this up and these two creatures goy sentenced yesterday

    https://news.sky.com/story/shawn-seesahai-boys-12-found-guilty-of-killing-19-year-old-in-machete-attack-13147244

    Two 12-year-old boys are thought to have become the youngest knife murderers in the UK after being found guilty of killing a 19-year-old in a machete attack.

    Warning: This story contains details readers may find distressing

    On Monday, jurors unanimously convicted the pair, who are believed to be the youngest defendants convicted of murder in Britain since Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both aged 11, were found guilty in 1993 of killing two-year-old James Bulger.

    Shawn Seesahai, 19, died after the attack on 13 November last year.

    He was struck on his back, legs and skull. The fatal wound to his back was more than 20cm deep and "almost came out" of his chest after going "through his heart".

    Two 12-year-old boys denied murdering Mr Seesahai but prosecutors said they were jointly responsible for the savage attack.

    They'll be out in their mid twenties given good behaviour I reckon,

    They could decide he had the opportunity to give himself up as a juvenile but chose not to, so now he has to accept being treated as an adult.
