Sarah Kruzan: Sentenced to Life Without Parole at Age 16

[adaym]

I believe you can "kill" someone in self-defence in the UK, I'm pretty sure there's only been the one case in recent times and they won due to self-defence? It's very difficult to prove things are self-defence though to be honest and your life really does have to be in danger to kill in self-defence.

I understand in this particular case it wasn't directly self-defence but in my opinion, the circumstances should of been taken into account when sentencing.

It's not self defence at all. What she committed was murder not self defence. Self defence would be if a man was attacking her attempting to kill and she did what she could to protect herself (inc. killing) but that wasn't the case. She deserves all she gets.

How is it tight? It's tight on her.

Sexual innuendo, get with it .

This is just crazy:
WIKIPEDIA:
Like other areas of criminal law, sentences handed to minors may differ from those given to legal adults. A few countries worldwide allow for minors to be given lifetime sentences that have no provision for eventual release. Of these, only the United States actually have minors serving such sentences, according to an updated 2008 joint study by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. As of May 2008, Human Rights Watch has calculated that there are 2,484 youth offenders serving life without parole in the United States.[1]

People moan that people don't get long enough sentances but when they do, people still moan.

Well i think it's obvious she isn't a danger to anyone anymore. I don't think she should have to live her whole like in torment because that has what she has done.

You got that from watching that video? Everyone can act nice for a few minutes.

Being a minor doesn't make you a naive "child" incapable of comprehending your actions. It doesn't matter if you're 16 or 60, unless you have a mental disorder you know what you're doing and should be made to face the consequences.

There are thousands of young adults that get abused similar to how she was, what there aren't thousands of are young adults that murder their abusers. What she did was clearly the actions of a psychopath and prison is probably the best place for her now as she has clearly been affected by what happened in her teenage years. It is a shame but if she was fit to walk the streets and live a normal life she wouldn't of acted in the way that she did, normal people don't murder.

Anyone is capable of murder.
