I mean, if a good lawyer was able to get the owner of the house off surely there was some merit to the sentences being excessively harsh. Apparently sentencing minors to life imprisonment was actually ruled unconstitutional after this but the floridian judge still doubled down on it. I just think they wouldn't have gotten life in any blue state or any other developed country (hell, Japan is pretty well known for being harsh on criminals and even they have policies that are more lenient on minors).
I'd love to be proven wrong with examples. The Sylvia Likens case had all the minors only getting several years for it.

They weren't really minors though except for the victim and the ginger siblings.

Murderer, two of the accomplices and the homeowner were all legal adults.

I don't really like Piers Morgan, but if you have any doubt of this girls guilt, go watch his interview with her. She's cold af, and Piers has said that he found her legit disturbing just how nonchalant she was talking about it.
