I wonder if you read this recent story, Mio: "Top court OKs death sentence for Ishinomaki murders by then minor." See more at:

This brings up the issue of whether people who committed terrible crimes when they were still a minor should get the death penalty. A related issue is should "insanity" or having a low mental capacity be considered when deciding the death penalty.
