From what I read, it was the juvenile who inflicted the maximum harm to the poor victim. And he goes scot- free in less than 2 years from now..!
That is even more disturbing..
Actually if I am right, a juvenile is released once he attains 18 years of age even if he has not fulfilled the full sentence. This was mentioned earlier in the news papers as well. If that is correct, then the 3 years sentence is only on paper and he will come out without serving any time at all now that he is 18 years old.
Our Juvenile laws needs revising very badly. The age limit should be reduced to 12 years. There are many 14 year old's who committed brutal crimes with the full knowledge that they won't be treated the same way as adults and can get away with little punishment even if caught.
In US, just because somebody is less than 18 years does not mean that they can get away. Psychological assessments are done to determine the maturity level. There are 13~15 year old's who have been sentenced to full life imprisonment and by life imprisonment, I mean for their entire life time as against the standard 14 year sorry excuse of a life imprisonment that we have in India.
