It is likely that if LaKeith had been tried as a juvenile and/or tried appropriately for the burglary, he would be free today.

Are we assuming this is a good thing. He broke into a home with a gunman ready to murder the occupant. What sort of man is he now?

This alone is absolutely insane to me. Where I am from, if you're under 18 there is no option to be tried as an adult, even 20 year olds can be tried as an adolescent here.
