The Age of Judgment: What Sentencing Reveals About Youth, Maturity, and Mercy

Dela

Imagine two people standing before a judge. One is nineteen, old enough to vote and be tried as an adult, but still developing the mental machinery needed for restraint and long-range planning. The other is sixty-eight, with decades of life experience but perhaps declining health, reduced mobility, and little likelihood of committing another crime. The law calls both adults. Yet common sense suggests that age matters, and not always in the same way.
