In this upcoming session, the US Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of executing killers who committed their crimes when they were juveniles.
There are presently 70 adults on death row who committed the crime of murder when they were under the age of 18.
The question is should the government be able to execute adults who killed when they where teens and children?
I'm not a big supporter of the death penalty to begin with so I have mixed feelings on this one.
Your thoughts?

Unfair. They committed crimes and should serve their sentence under the same laws when they committed their crime.
