There will also be a mandatory life imprisonment sentence for those convicted of non-capital murder and also for juveniles under the age of 18 who are convicted of capital murder.

Since the sentence imposed is already far too severe for the crime, no one has questioned the propriety of the prosecutor reducing the charge. He might have gone one step further and reduced the charge to one of manslaughter, in which case the court would have the full discretion to craft a sentence all the...
