I understand. We agree on that, but I don't think we can give the victim's family any real comfort. What they've gone through is unimaginable.
What do we, as a society, do with people who commit such heinous crimes, especially in their youth? Do we throw in the towel? We used to have the death penalty. That took care of the problem. The death penalty doesn't exist anymore. I'm against the death penalty, so I'm not complaining. Nevertheless, what do we do? These people continue to live, so do we keep them behind bars their entire lives, or do we throw in the towel? Is there anything that can be done for those people? I don't know. I'm not an expert. I'm a lawyer, but rehabilitation, sociology and all that isn't my specialty.
