A guess based on life experience. I’m sure you’ve sized people up before, to see who they are and what they’re capable of. For this case, I’m wondering how you came to the conclusion that she was mentally unstable?
Sure, it’s awful. And most legal systems today and in the past have been even worse.
Teenagers are always mentally unstable, prone to fits of ridiculousness or worse.
Guesses are not good enough. Guesses are fallible.
Strictly deferring to an average adult age trades precision for order. You get simpler decision-making at the expense of accuracy.
What accuracy…a 10 yrs. old adult? That type of accuracy? That’s insanity, not accuracy.
If accuracy means someone who knows right from wrong, then three year olds should be tried as adults.
I believe there is a case where a 3 or 4 year old “murdered” someone…an obvious adult.
Ehh, no. Going through a rebellious stage, thinking you know more than you do, doing something stupid from peer pressure, these are normal teenage shenanigans. An extended, concerted effort to get your boyfriend to kill himself is not. Can you image how she feigned surprise when the news broke? That’s sick.
I mean, the final sentence may not be easy to judge, but the fact that someone should have known better… is another thing.
An unstable teenager…a psychopath in a teenagers body…in any case unstable being that is what psychopaths are…and a teenager. Why do you keep pressing back into insanity rather than go towards a common sense approach?
This is getting a bit absurd.
Think about it, the more you rely on a general average to make judgements that means you’re giving less weight to the particulars of the case. We’re not talking about 3 year olds, we’re talking about a 17 year old, months away from being a legal adult.
Absurd that a 4 year old was tried for murder because the child was tried for murder…this type of insanity is what you are endorsing.
You want accuracy through arbitrary guessing then you end up with absurd.
Criminal behavior due to psychopathy still warrants a serious sentence. It’s no joke, not everyone can be rehabilitated either.
The flavor of the day is arbitrary principles, changing the goal post when it suits politics.
Laws are concrete, not arbitrary. The fact that we have to even discuss this is absurd. The law as it stands says an adult is 18 yrs. old. So she was a child.
No, there are records, defendant testimony, witness testimony.
She shouldn’t even be prosecuted for mean words. Under medical supervision, yes.
The system is to blame for this.
Men should be taught red-pill knowledge about the nature of women in school, and I am 100% serious about this. If they were, this whole thing would have been avoided.
Instead men are taught nonsense that is complete opposite to truth, like “women’s opinions matter”. So when some retard woman says “kys” a man actually does it.
No man in his right mind would ever listen to a single thing a woman says, much less take it to heart. They exist for making babies and sucking dick, not telling men what to do.
Beyond saying “your sandwich is ready” I don’t see the purpose in educating women how to talk anyways.
I need help from reasonable adults who comprehend that we have an arbitrary, unjust legal system corrupted by the politics of the day.
One day a child, the next adult. That’s how it works…
I’ve never said manslaughter was the correct sentence, but I do think a some form of a severe sentence is warranted in this case. There are still severe juvenile sentences.
Mean words do not murder anyone. Mean thoughts don’t either.
