Not according to the Supreme Court I guess. It is concidered cruel punishment. Seems to me if someone is 16 years old and kills an 8 year old, knowing full well it is wrong and against the law, he should do plenty of hard time!

This could open a whole Pandora's box of new problems now. A juvenile knows now he can kill someone, and get a lighter sentence. Don't see a problem with that line of thinking!
