>that is impossible as they do not try you as an adult fur non violent crime.

Never said non violent.

> Even as adult only crime that you are going to get that much time for is murder, rape, treason,caught with a shit load of drugs

You would assume that but its simply not true in some areas of the US. First nobody in the US goes to jail for treason in modern times. And the only one of those charges he got was for drug possession (for pot which is actually decriminalized in a lot of states laws these days) but didn't sound like he had a shit load. He wasn't innocent for sure but at least 96 years is a pretty long sentence for aggravated robbery (and non fatal kidnapping). Fairly indifferent to this case but just pointing out to our European readers the US may have some problems but going easy on sick violent fscks is not really one of them any more.

>Even tried as an adult you can not sentence a minor to life with out parole

Only technically true for a very short time in our nearly 250 year history (pretty recent SCOTUS decision) and as this case shows not even true in practice.
