He killed A man that was 18 at the age of 11 years old and only got 8 years for that crime and he did it with a gun meaning he also had illegal possession of a weapon.
if an adult were to kill someone the lowest Amount of years they would have to serve is 17 years and also having an illegal weapon that is either a fine of a min of 8 months to a year so what he got 8 years for an adult would get at least 18 years for maybe 17 with a 20,000 dollar fine for the family to pay of for you to pay in jail. that is a lot of time and money.
