Kinda defeats the point of the major/minor system. If the argument is that minors lack impulse control and maturity so they're incapable of full decision-making, you can't selectively pick and choose which crimes to treat like what. It's all or nothing.


Maturity is more fluid than just an age cut-off. The possibility of having a psychiatrist decide where someone falls when in that age-stretch makes perfect sense to me.

Here, the older brother is 21, so no discussion there. The younger brother is 16, so if not for maturity checking, I would think it is at least necessary to characterize his relationship with his older brother. Might be some authority abuse there.

If they are found guilty they deserve jail time yes, maybe even some, uhm... (What is the American equivalent of our TBS system?)

And that is all I am comfortable saying on the subject, I am a geneticist by schooling, not a lawyer or judge who studied for this.

Edit: Cannot find a foreign equivalent to TBS, but it is basically an obligatory psyche treatment while incarcerated.
