People literally make a living off of explaining the law to people.  Stop being a dolt for someone asking a question.  Why use Google, when the case is being discussed here and now.

I'm not being unfriendly, but the conversation has gone like this:

Why are these kids being tried as adults??

[i]Because the law says so.[/i]

But they are kids!

[i]And the law says first degree rape cases are to be tried as adults, regardless.[/i]

But they are 15.  15 isn't an adult.

[i]Yes, and the law says they will be tried as an adult for this crime.[/i]

But why these kids?
[i]
Because the law.[/i]

They are 15!!!!

[i]We know.  Violent crimes and all that.
[/i]
But they are not adults!

[i]Right.  Confirmed.  Law.[/i]

But why not try them as juveniles?

[i]Law.[/i]

You're unhelpful!
[i]
Ok.  Still the law.[/i]

They are 15!!!

You keep asking why and the answer is because it's the law. What else do you want??? You can advocate in Annapolis to have the law changed, you can look through old legal documents to find out why the law was passed in the first place.

When your question is "why" you will keep getting the answer "because it's the law" because that is the answer to the question you are asking. If your question is actually WHY is it the law, or how can it stop being the law, those are different questions.[/quote]
