[quote=Anonymous]17 vs. 18 has never been and should never be a bright line for homicide crimes. The penalties for minors are plainly insufficient here—the driver likely is getting one year of home arrest in a $2 million mansion. That’s why we give prosecutors discretion to charge as adults. The judge can still consider the driver’s youth and give him a lower sentence than a 30 year old repeat offender would get. This isn’t about vengeance; it’s about deterring this behavior through meaningful punishment. The reason (some) wealthy families let their kids engage in this behavior is because they know the consequences of causing an accident—even a death—are not severe. That needs to change.[/quote]
