PP is correct. 15-year-olds are not adults. But that's not the point, since the charges are first-degree rape, and MD charges as adults for this crime.[/quote]

Yes they are correct in that statement and I'm guessing that they are the poster that keeps rebutting with 'but they're not adults' despite the fact that's not really the argument here.  They are being tried as adults, not because of their age, but because of the heinous act they committed and because it (first degree rape) carries a maximum punishment of up to life in prison.  I think everyone knows that 15 year olds are 15 year olds.  It does not bear repeating.  It's tiresome.  [/quote]

[b]The point is that 15-year-olds, not being adults, should not be charged as adults. And also should not be sentenced to life in prison[/b].[/quote]

Now you know that is not how our judicial system works!  Maybe it should, maybe not.

I don't think they will get life.  If convicted, with not priors I think they are looking at 15-25 for the First degree Rape charge.  I tried to do the math using what little information I could know and the Maryland sentencing guidelines from 11/1/2018.[/quote]

Why would they get 15-25 years when the sentencing guidelines for raping girls is <3 years. [/quote]
