Philip Chism trial
"The
argument is, generally speaking, that we can't look at children the
same way we look at adult offenders, no matter how monstrous or
horrific the act."
MBA Criminal Justice
Section Vice Chair Peter
Elikann, Boston.com, December 17
Elikann was quoted by Boston.com on the Philip Chism trial.
Chism was found guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated rape and
armed robbery on Tuesday. As a juvenile offender, Chism could
receive parole after 15 or 25 years.
