And because you didn’t read the article you miss context and derail the conversation with a strawman argument.

Its incredibly easy to peer pressure teenagers into doing stupid stuff without having them consider the consequences.

Especially if they are part of a marginalized community and they observe crimes on a daily basis.

Which is why trying minors as adults is unjust.

Felony murder rule is just because instead of judgement based on intent alone, it also bases the punishment on the unintended consequences of the criminal act.
