A state industry
Michigan spends more than $10 million a year to house more juvenile lifers than all but one other state, Pennsylvania.
In all, 358 inmates are serving life sentences for crimes committed from ages 14 to 17. One in five has been in prison 25 years or longer.
The oldest is 67, now that two older lifers have died.
What the numbers show
Juvenile lifers look a lot alike. They are almost exclusively male. Two out of three are black. Most were 17 at the time, but 45 percent were 16 and younger. Nearly half did their crimes in the 1990s.

Miss Amber Rose Riley is innocent of murder, period. She should have never been convicted, though, technically, she had a “jury of her peers” in this case. Miss Riley did not receive a fair trial. Getting to the point, here are the reasons that this is true:.
?” Testimony from professionals in the field of mental health as to the science and history of people being beaten, tortured, constantly abused and under stress, and how these people have behaved under intimidating and threatening conditions.
Harris admitted that he killed Terry Ray Taylor; that Amber Rose Riley didn’t have anything to do with the killing, and that the facts were evident that he was convicted and sentenced for this crime.
> Deputy district attorney, Karen Khim, despite hearing testimony from the actual killer, dismissed it, saying that (sp.)“…..
7. Just relying on the testimony of the actual killer, Jason Lamar Harris, the San Bernardino District Attorney should have thrown out the case against Amber Riley.
8. Harris is four years older than Amber Riley (you know of any male street hoodlum, with a criminal record, who takes orders from a female younger than himself? Have you ever known of an adult male street criminal, in the slime sleazebag debased “hip-hop” Black Culture of America Today, who takes orders, or suggestions, from an underage white girl?) Amber Rose Riley had no criminal history whatsoever; Jason Lamar Harris was a known-to-community “outlaw.”
At no time in North American history, except during slavery at the most sadistic and oppressive plantations of the South, has an American-born black adult male “outlaw” or criminal ever listen-to and taken suggestions of criminal activity, from a white female, especially an underage white female that he beats and abuses. No male criminal has ever been known to take suggestions, or orders, from adult or teen females. Not even the Mason Family women ever suggested, or ordered, Charles Manson to savagely kill innocent people.
>
Since 1994, more than 214-and-still-counting men and women have been freed from California state prisons after being found completely innocent of the crimes that got them convicted and sentenced to state incarceration in the first place.
: Gloria Killian, 17-1/2 years in prison before being found innocent and set free; Kevin Green, 16 years in prison; Dewayne McKinney, 19 years in prison; Elmer “Geronimo” Pratt, 26 years in prison; Scott and Brenda Kniffen, 14 years in prison; Maria Suarez, 24 years in prison, officially declared innocent.Hundreds of women in prison, some being there for over twenty years, who were battered and threaten women who used lethal force out of fear, or protection, of their lives. Most were denied a “battered woman’s defense” that only became available (at defense attorney’s discretion) after 1997.
Please, throw this tainted and highly suspect jury conviction out of court. Give Amber Riley a new trial and allow her to face a real jury of her peers (and, not the “Robert Blake” idiots and media cameral hopefuls that populated her past jury), seek competent defense counsel, and have an honest and fair trial.
There’s enough actual and circumstantial facts and evidence showing why she certainly deserves a real honest fail trial.
Thank you very much.

I am Anonymous I have no face...just a point of view, from the time and place of such workings.
i knew the both of them, jason was also known as "Demon" and amber was my best friend for three years...we were so close...she was innocent, i have an ability for reading people, he was a demented young man who tortured and killed animals, her on the other hand helped save rescue lost and abused animals, she was a kind person, and would never harm anyone, no one really tried to even listen to my story and yet i was suspected of being an accomplice, amber never really listened to metal, and allegations of this are un-true, i think frank mitchell is one of the only ones who believe the truth, I am very sorry for the family(of terry)loss, but spouting blatant hate and blind fury is not going to help any, and this heaven /hell nonsense is really un-necessary, i knew him as well, and except for being kinda slow he was ok but also it was a jealous rage with Jason harris he wanted Amber Riley and she like Terry, I wont go into details, but Jason Abused Amber and just because she was big for her age doesnt mean anything she was still a naiive teenager and amber was no ringleader, he did it to terry and made her watch, and threatened her and her family, Even apparently Myself, after the second time he went to jail(8months) he quickly started to lose it, and during the 2-4 months before the murder she started even trying to keep her from me, and Amber and I were very close, like a real brother and sister, not in a romantic way, we werent each other types, but anyway he started becoming way too posessive and she wanted for us to get rid of him, make him go away, not in a killing him sense but just to leave us alone and i was also the last few months more or less starting to venture out and make friends and have a life outside of her but up untill the murder I didnt really see a change except for maybe being scared and wanting to go home here and there, she was not the monster everyone thinks she is Jason on the other will tell you he is and he enjoyed it, he was a self proclaimed satanist and anitchrist of this generation, she was a sweet youg thing and if she actually did d it or had a part in it other than being a frightened spectator then she was a good actess and played us all for fools, and jasons mother one way or the other is deluded and full of lies, she is a fanatical christian after all, and yes jasons younger brothers and sisters were good kids and hopefully will never follow in his steps. dont try to find me, dont try to even guess who I am, it doesnt matter, ALL that does matter is a point of view. AND just because your not christian and are an athiest or pagan or whatever does not mean you have no morals or honor.
I have much Information that was left out of the case, not that anyone cared. peace be with you all.

I know that sweet young girl better than most i am her sister. She would never be capable of such a thing, she has the biggest heart i have ever seen. I am sorry to the young mans family a loss i would never want to endure but instead of speaking from anger and hurt u should do ur damnedest to make sure the monster that actually did this alone and traumatized a beautiful baby for the rest of her life gets his fair punishment fifty yrs in the pen is nowhere near enough punishment for that devil. She was wrongly convicted and has lost her life for something she couldnt control. Now help her come home we need her she needs us and its time she try to live some what of a normL life.

Pardon me, but I thought the post was from Jasons mother; Amber and Terry were friends...she never meant any harm to come to him....if she could have prevented the murder in any way, she would have. I advocate on behalf of Amber and we are looking forward to the day when justice is FINALLY served. Hear me, it is coming....the truth shall prevail!!

12 Year Old FL Boy To Be Charged As An Adult
When Should a Child Be Charged as an Adult?
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/10/22/american-justice-when-should-child-be-charged-as-adult/
Florida, and the death of one of its children, has yet again jumped into the international spotlight. This time it's David Fernandez, a two-and-a-half year old toddler who lost his life because he was allegedly slammed twice into a bookcase by his 12-year-old half-brother, Christian. Afterwards, Christian called his mom, Biannela Susana, 25, who came home right away. . . .
Florida State Attorney, Angela Corey, is proceeding with prosecuting the boy as an adult and Christian at the age of 12 is facing life in prison if found guilty. Corey claims she's going strictly by the book. Turns out, Florida leads the nation in trying children as adults. In 1995, prosecutors sent over 7,000 children to adult court, almost as many as the rest of the nation combined.

Florida State Attorney, Angela Corey, is proceeding with prosecuting the boy as an adult and Christian at the age of 12 is facing life in prison if found guilty. Corey claims she's going strictly by the book. Turns out, Florida leads the nation in trying children as adults. In 1995, prosecutors sent over 7,000 children to adult court, almost as many as the rest of the nation combined.

ATLANTA : Appeals court allows life sentences for juveniles
Appeals court allows life sentences for juveniles
ATLANTA -- A federal appeals court on Wednesday held that juveniles convicted of murder can be sentenced
to life in prison without parole, seeking to settle a lingering debate over how the courts punish minors
who commit serious offenses.
The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that juveniles cannot be sentenced to death and that the
y also can't be sentenced to life in prison without parole for rape and other non-homicide offenses
. The ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday, though, upheld life sentences for juveniles
convicted of murder.
The decision came in the case against Kenneth Loggins, who was convicted in Alabama of killing
a hitchhiker in 1994 and originally sentenced to die. He was 17 at the time of the killing, so his
punishment was reduced to life without parole because the Supreme Court banned such executions in 2005.

Teen’s life sentence unconstitutional, lawyer argues
Teen’s life sentence unconstitutional, lawyer argues
Posted on 08 September 2011

Arkansas News Bureau
LITTLE ROCK — A lawyer for an Arkansas teenager serving a life sentence for
capital murder argued today before the Arkansas Supreme Court that the sentence
was unconstitutional because his client was only 16 at the time of the crime and
did not fire the fatal shot.
A lawyer for the state told the justices the sentence is consistent with federal
and state case law.
The high court heard oral arguments but did not immediately issue a ruling in an
appeal by Lemuel Session Whiteside, 19, who was convicted of capital murder and
aggravated robbery and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole
in the January 2009 shooting death of James London Sr., 30, in Little Rock.
Authorities never accused Whiteside of shooting London. Cambrin Sain Barnes
admitted to being the gunman and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and
aggravated robbery in exchange for a 40-year sentence. But prosecutors said
Whiteside — who declined to plead guilty — gave the murder weapon to Barnes and
told him where to find London.
Tom Sullivan, attorney for Whiteside, told the justices today that in the case
Graham v. Florida, the U.S. Supreme Court said a sentence of life without parole
is too severe for a juvenile for any offense other than homicide. Such a
sentence violates the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual
punishment, the court said in that decision.
Sullivan said that as he interprets the decision, Whiteside should not have been
sentenced to life without parole because he did not kill London.
“In this case the defendant is not the shooter, and there has been no proof of
an intent to kill,” he said.
Justice Robert Brown asked Sullivan if he was asking the justices to expand the
Graham v. Florida decision. Sullivan said he was only asking them to interpret
how the decision should apply to a defendant who is convicted of murder but did
not kill anyone.
The decision “leaves open this middle ground,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan also argued that because the death penalty was not an option under
Graham v. Florida, the only option for Whiteside was life without parole, so the
jury was denied a say in the sentence.
Assistant Attorney General Vada Berger told the justices that in the case
Kuntrell Jackson v. Arkansas, the state Supreme Court ruled that a juvenile
could be tried on a charge of capital murder in criminal court rather than
juvenile court, which meant that the juvenile had to be sentenced to life
without parole.
In that case the juvenile maintained that he was a lookout and not the person
who fired the fatal shot during the robbery of a Blytheville video store.
Brown asked Berger if the jury should have had a say in Whiteside’s sentencing.
She said there is no right to be sentenced by a jury.
“The Legislature is the one who gets to decide if there is jury sentencing, and
the Legislature has said there’s no jury sentencing here,” she said.
Berger also said the state established that Whiteside was heavily involved in
the killing.
“This is not a case where there is low culpability,” she said.
In recognition of its 175th birthday, the court met in its former courtroom at
the state Capitol instead of its courtroom at the Justice Building. The change
of venue did not go off without a hitch.
Minutes into the hearing, the court reporter complained that she could not hear
what was being said. The room is not wired for audio or video recording, so the
justices used a pocket recorder to capture the rest of the proceedings.

Are Kids Really Getting A 2md Chance?
If a kid is charged at age 14 or 15 he will be 30 years old before a parole hearing?
What kind of chance is that? Their schooling stops the minute they turn 18 in California, they
pull them out of school and any counseling that they were getting at juvenile hall to
have them sit in county jail where they have nothing to do, unless the family orders them books. But this is just my opinion. (I know it is better then nothing, ) I just wish they could serve until they are 24 or 25 at a youth prison then have a team of experts decide if they should then go into prison. But again This is just my opinion.>Gelly*This opinion comes because in California being at the scene of the crime not even responsible for the actual crime gets a kid a murder sentence.I know for a fact they do not weigh surrounding circumstances, and the kids right's are not protected as they claim.
