1088 Words5 Pages

Life Sentence: Nathan Ybanez On the night of June 5,1996 in Highlands, Colorado, 15-year-old Nathan Ybanez and his friend, Erik Jensen, bludgeoned and strangled 43-year-old Julie Ybanez after being told that he was being shipped off to a Missouri Military school. The next day a police officer found Nathan in a deserted park with his mother’s corpse. Both Ybanez and Jensen were both charged with first degree murder and sentence to life without parole in the year 2000. Currently Nathan is 35 years old, the latest heard of him was in July 2013, he is still in the process of repealing his case, but he continues to voice out his opinion using the outlet known as YouTube. I do not agree with the sentence, I felt it was too harsh for a minor and …show more content…

Moving from one place to another at such a young age is bound to leave some trauma, then I would like to account the abuse that took place in the family, with beatings from a overly strict father, sexual abuse from a mother; someone that is supposed to protect and nurture, then the mental abuse that left young Nathan sad and confused. It was only a matter of time before he snapped and the person he did snap on happen to be the main cause of his problems. I’m not saying what he did was not bad, because it was; I am simply stating that events led up to his mother death, he didn’t just decide to come home and just start …show more content…

Take in the fact that he had tried multiple times to have himself removed from his parent’s care, the judge should have seen that as an indication that something was going on at home. Something serious led Nathan to kill his mom, I mean he had dealt with years of abuse, then suddenly one night he just decides to kill his mother. There has even been a statement by young Ybanez saying that he had to kill his mother, so she wouldn’t hurt him anymore.

    Crook, he should still be subject to the death penalty no matter his age. If someone can go to extreme lengths to dream up a plan to murder someone, then there is no reason to not give them the death penalty. When Simmons stated that they would not be caught because they are young and will get away with it (Missouri Death Row), this goes to show that clearly Christopher Simmons knew that there were going to be consequences for their actions. He was mature enough to know what right from what is wrong. The fact that Simmons bragged about the murder after it was committed goes to show that undoubtedly Christopher Simmons lacks compassion and sympathy which could in turn lead to more crimes whether they are performed within the prison walls or on the outside.

Secondly he was constantly abused by both his mother and father and lastly he was taken away from both his friends and the band they were in consistently which removed much of the positive outlets that he had.

    I affirm the resolution that juveniles should be charged with violent felonies ought to be treated as adults in the criminal justice system. In most states a juvenile delinquent is considered a criminal act by a child who is under the age of 18 at the time. My first main purpose is crime can continuously be crime regardless of what age the criminal is the crime was still committed and it doesn 't reduce the suffering of the criminal. Trying juveniles as adults makes all crimes equal and allows for more justice. My second reason why juvenile delinquents should be treated as adults because they need to understand there actions.
