You are aware that prison is supposed to be for rehabilitation whilst one is a threat to society as well as a punishment right? If one is rehabilitated and no longer a threat then they are released. If they are still a danger then life means life.
Can you name me one killer (specifically serial killer) who was convicted for life, then was decided he was rehabilitated and release, then he repeated the crime?

Rehab has worked, they have prison boot camps in the midwest were convicted felons have to live in a boot camp and if they graduate they can go back into society, they are equipped with tools for success and a vision to become better citizens....I'll try to find the link, I saw it on tv (IN CHINA)

This teenager and others like him should be tried as adults and, if
convicted, serve adult terms in prison.

Nethanial and his trial were a mess. And I'm glad you brought that up.
Each and every person on trial needs to have his capability weighed
individually. To say all 16 year olds should be tried as adults is silly
because not all 16 year olds are the same mentally. Same with all
12 year olds or 14 year olds. Each and every person deserves a
fair trial and that includes individual determination of culpability and
mental age.

The "child" pick up a knife or a gun, and willingly, by their own actions take another human beings life in cold blood!
If the child commited murder, then he is no longer a child!
The child is then a murderer and I have no problem with sentencing the cold-blooded KILLER!
