Biased Justice I remember this quote‚ “Equal justice under law is not just a caption on the façade of the supreme court building. It is fundamental that justice should be the same‚ in substance and availability‚ without regard to economic status‚ by Justice Lewis Powell Jr‚” when I read the cases of Edel Gonzalez and Ethan couch.

Throughout the years this topic has been a heated discussion. To those that have never experienced a fellow persons murder by a juvenile they often side with the idea they should not.

If someone kills (who do they kill) do they deserve to be killed? The answer is no‚ because regardless

Personally‚ I believe that a Juvenile can change‚ because‚ it has happened before and it can keep happening. Juveniles should not be labeled
