Damn that's seems lenient.
Let's take a look at another murder by a 16 year old in Chicago shall we.

Dimitri Buffer was convicted in 2010 of shooting into a vehicle on Chicagos South Side, killing 25-year-old Jessica Bazan. Prosecutors argued he mistakenly believed the car belonged to a gang rival. During the resentencing hearing in February, Cook County Circuit Judge Thaddeus Wilson recalled fielding questions from jurors about why such a young person was facing trial in adult court and acknowledged the heavy weight of the case given Buffers age. Jurors found 16 year old Buffer guilty and Wilson sentenced him to 50 years in prison, 25 years for the murder and another mandatory 25 years for committing the crime with a firearm. In his lengthy and at times emotional ruling Tuesday, Wilson acknowledged that he had settled on the new sentence just moments before he took the stand.

In fact that sentence by the judge was so bad this happened in 2020.

A Chicago man was resentenced on Tuesday to serve 25 years in prison for a murder he committed at age 16, more than a year after the Illinois Supreme Courts landmark ruling in his case triggered additional sentencing protections for juvenile offenders serving mandatory prison terms of more than 40 years.

Guess what color Buffer was?
