The 17 year old shouldn't be charged with accessory to murder. I never understood that law. Give him breaking and entry and burglary and call it a day.
An instant death sentence with no appeal, is what you call teaching a lesson?
I don't. I call it successful rehabilitation. He'll never reoffend.
You, on the other hand, probably excuse him as a poor, misunderstood product of an uncaring society. After all, calling him a thief would be pejorative.

I agree, I have never understood the logic of charging someone with a crime that they didn't intend to commit. It just doesn't make any sense. It doesn't work as a deterrent, because because the person didn't intend for, or want it to happen in the first place.
It's especially bazaar in a case like this one. The 15 year old was killed because of the actions of a trigger happy homeowner. The 17 year old had nothing to to with that. He should be charged with the crime that he was committing, attempted burglary.

Punishment is a consequence of a behavior already commitment not necessarily a deterrent. If the criminal justice system was designed to deter crime we'd have executions in the town square.

He's not an accessory to murder, he's a burglar. We can't make up crimes to charge him just because you want him to serve a longer sentence.

I agree.
