Murderous Children by Antonia Monacelli, “The judge told the prosecution that if they did not believe he should receive a harsh sentence, they should never have charged him with first degree murder. Lionel Tate would get a second chance though...unfortunately, Lionel would not make the most of his second chance.”

On Punishment and Teen Killers by Jennifer Jenkins, “...he is one of 1,300 cases nationally of a teen killer sentenced as an adult to life...”

Kids Are Kids by Margie Lundstrom, “Now fourteen and convicted as an adult of first degree murder, Tate was supposedly imitating his Worl Wrestling Federation heroes when he pummeled his playmate, less than a third his size.”

No More Second Chances for Lionel Tate by Dutch Martin, “Young Mr.Tate is going to have to wait 30 years for his third chance to come around.”]]> 2018-09-24 18:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/paxton_alvarez/2cjgl5kacjuj/wish/285210760 paxton_alvarez https://padlet.com/paxton_alvarez/2cjgl5kacjuj/wish/285210975 Juveniles Don't Deserve Life Sentences by Gail Garinger: "I urge the justices to apply the logic and the wisdom of their earlier decisions and affirm that the best time to decide whether someone should spend his entire life in prison when he has grown to be an adult, not when he is still a child."

Murderous Children by Antonia Monacelli, “...he pled no contest to the robbery charge, and was sentenced to 10 years, to be served concurrently with his 30 years sentence.”

Murderous Children by Antonia Monacelli, “The judge extended his probation to 15 years, and told him that if he was caught in violation again, he would go back to prison.”

No More Second Chances for Lionel Tate by Dutch Martin, “Judge Lazarus then sentenced Tate to 30 years in prison.”

No More Second Chances for Lionel Tate by Dutch Martin, “In fact, if it were up to me, Lionel, John and Kathleen would be sharing the same prison cell.”]]> 2018-09-24 18:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/paxton_alvarez/2cjgl5kacjuj/wish/285210975 paxton_alvarez https://padlet.com/paxton_alvarez/2cjgl5kacjuj/wish/285215041 My opinion on juveniles and the juvenile system is that it does depend on the situation, it depends on what the crime was, how old they were, if this was their first offense or not, were they put up to it? There's a lot of factors to take into consideration that make me lean more towards one side than the other. But for the most part I believe the punishment will fit the crime. So if a 13+ year old kills another individual than a life sentence might be suitable, especially if it isn't there first offense.]]> 2018-09-24 18:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/paxton_alvarez/2cjgl5kacjuj/wish/285215041 william_bates https://padlet.com/paxton_alvarez/2cjgl5kacjuj/wish/285216817 I think that juveniles deserve to have a second chance at life after they have committed a crime and have then proved that they have changed and are capable of benefiting society.]]> 2018-09-24 18:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/paxton_alvarez/2cjgl5kacjuj/wish/285216817
