A 17-year-old Terrytown man was arrested on charges of aggravated rape and first-degree murder of an 8-month-old child Saturday afternoon, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said.

Ross later admitted that he beat the infant repeatedly when he would not stop crying, Fortunato said. When the child began to defecate on himself, Ross said he tried to clean it up, causing the tears, according to the release.
at 17 he is more than culpable and responsible for the crime committedIsn't it somewhat inconsistent to impose a double standard that involves full criminal responsibility with an absence of equivalent legal rights?

presently rights are bestowed over time
so the level of culpability can as well
well he was free to kill the kid, now he is free to face the consequencesYes, I'd naturally assume the same. But why impose such legal culpability without acknowledging some equivalent degree of similar legal rights?

there is not enough suffering that could be inflicted on this animal
prison is too good for the likes of this
Wonder how long until he gets his first marriage proposal from some whacked out broad
like what?This is the way I have always felt.
I would still have strict punishment applied to minors but I would not try a minor as an adult reguardless of the crime. I would just make harsher punishment for minors that commit the worst crimes.
errrrrrIt is not just the crime. It is his record. What it shows is that the rule-of-law is the rule of lawlessness. The law-god never protects anyone. It may, to some degree punish people guilty and innocent. But the law-god never protects anyone.
If the crime had happened 8 1/2 months earlier, not only would this teen be seen as a hero by 'the left', but you the criminal for condemning the act.
like what?
if you give a minor life in prison for murder, you are treating him no differnet
if you give him a lighter sentence because he is a minor than the crime commited is minimalized

Come on Jerry, I usually respect what you have to say, but let's stay on topic. This has nothing to do with abortion rights or what the left would have to say about it. I think everyone can agree that this was clearly a heinous crime, so let's try to keep this conversation in the realm of what the OP had in mind.
In response to other responses, I agree that there has to be some sort of consistency for how to be tried. I agree that it is best to never try a minor as an adult and to have much harsher punishments for much harsher crimes. It makes no sense to only try a minor as an adult SOMETIMES.
Could you posibly act more disgustingly than trying to politicize the rape and murder of an infant?
Take your emotional diatribes about abortion elsewhere. This is not an abortion thread.8 1/2 months after conception the baby can survive outside the womb.IN some cases a baby can survive 24 weeks and some cases 21 weeks after conception. Yet many abortionist scum would support killing such a child as long as it is still inside the womb. The only difference in this case is the child is outside the womb and all these abortionist scum are pretending to be horrified by such an act.

Well I'm sorry to hear that you perpetuate the extinguishing of human life while fighting a crusade for the unborn. Good luck with that.Killing people who kill children...I don't see what's wrong with that.

So, by your logic, if a 5-year-old gets his hands on a pistol on the playground and shoots another kid, he should get the death penalty? "Old enough to do the crime, old enough to do the time", right? :lol:If he is guilty hopefully they execute him, hopefully they stick their death row inmates in the general population. I do not give a rats ass how old the defendant is. Old enough to do the crime old enough to do the time. Justice for the victim shouldn't be minimized just because of the age of the defendant or the age of victim.
