The courts continue to coddle the juvenile criminal. These punks know that they can literally get away with murder. Known juvenile offenders were involved in at least 680 murders in the
U.S. in 2011, representing about 7% of all known murder offenders. This was the lowest statistic in 32 years. On average, juveniles were involved in one-quarter of all serious violent

Rick Scott signed a few bills into law yesterday. One was HB 7035-— that would make it clear that Florida juveniles will

parole for juveniles violates the Constitution’s ban against cruel and
unusual punishment.
This won't affect Nathaniel Brazill, however. He only got 28 years for the murder of Barry Grunow, his Lake Worth Middle School teacher. Nathaniel thinks his sentence was too long.
