Issues of the Case

Thompson's three accomplices, all of whom were over 18, were convicted and sentenced to death for this crime. Thompson was waived to adult court after a hearing requested by the prosecutor and was found guilty and sentenced to death. Thompson had a history of juvenile offenses, and witnesses from the juvenile justice system testified that he would not be cured in rehabilitation. A psychologist hired by the prosecution performed a cursory evaluation, handwrote a four-page report, and testified that Thompson was "an antisocial personality disorder" with a callous disregard for others who had no capacity for change(http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3882/is_200201/ai_n9032640/). Therefore creating the problem that Thompson was underage, so he could not be given the death, therefore what sort of punishment does this kid diserve!
