Assignment:

The Supreme Court has held that imposing the death penalty on an offender for an offense committed as a juvenile is prohibited by the 8th Amendment (Roper v. Simmons). The Courts said the death penalty should be limited to persons committing the most serious crimes and whose "extreme culpability" makes that person the most deserving to be executed. The Court considered three general differences between juveniles and adults, using these differences to support its holding that juveniles cannot with reliability be classified among the worst offenders. Explain the three general differences and apply them to Jeff Wallace's propositions for improving the juvenile justice system. How do the Court and Wallace's sentiments compare/contrast?
