If you were part of a jury in a offender trial, what would you do?

Maybe, it all depends on the cirstances of the crime and in which state the defendant is prosecuted. You do not say if the 10 plus years is included in the 20 years or if it is separate. First of all treatment for true offenders does not work. However at 16 I would not be too sure that this particular person is a true offender. Yes I would release him or her.
