● One student is given a chrome book to be used to read an article related
to this incident. (The link to this will be on the students Google
Classroom page)
● Students will begin by reading the article together and gathering some
facts.
● Next will use the information gathered to answer a series of questions.
Each question will need to be answered in complete sentences and with
detail. The Questions are:
○ How would the 17 year olds experience with the justice system
be different than the other accused?
○ Do you think the punishment the 18 year olds received was fair
and equitable? Why or why not?
○ How does the victim’s family feel about the charges? Why?
○ If you were the judge deciding the 17 year olds consequences,
knowing what you know now, what consequence do you think
would be likely under the YCJA? Explain why you would
make this ruling.
