Zeus 11/22/20 5:58:10 PM #9:	There's no point in having a major/minor system if you're not going to honor it. If the crime happens the day before his birthday, he should still be considered a minor because every other context does that the same way. Beyond that, there should be a second category for offenders aged 18 to 25 where they get reduced or alternative sentencing, because they're still not fully adults at that point. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:947485227] in If a 17 y/...
