well he should not have grabbed the knife but yeah they didn't give him a chance, hopefully he learned his lesson

well i guess he has no choice but to learn his lesson since he has to rot in jail for life over a mistake he made when he was 14

yeah, but at that age you should know better

I agree, that is part of being a kid - everyone makes mistakes but we need to give kids a chance to learn their lesson.

what do you think should have been done instead?

i think jail was fine, if it's okay to do that then something isn't right

I think they should have given him a certain sentence of x amount of years, and grant him parole, if he messed that up, then put him back

they could have put him on probation, bcause he would have to be good or he would risk going to jail, atleast that way he would have gotten

a second chance, because although he was old enough to know better sometimes kids dont realize the harsh consequences of their actions

Soem sort of youth program may have done wonders for him

Yea, and not only for him, but others would benefit from that program also.

probably because right in the article it says "He grew up in a crack house with a mother who used and sold drugs"

I think that that a kid at that age should know better and yes it does stink he's in jail but thats what you get when you heart win woahaha

That's not fair! He barely knew what he had done and they locked him up.....I'm not surprised that poor decisions are made

14? im sure you know what murder is.

i agree SHACARLAY! haha...were not much older and I def know what murder is and i def know that stabbing someone is wrong!

despite the fact that it stinks its fair and he deserves it
