Blog #15

This article is about a teen who was found guilty on Monday of first-degree murder in the April 2012 shooting of Keith Gachett in Hallsboro. Marquice Alexander Antone, who is now 18, could spend the rest of his life when sentenced this morning by Superior Court Judge Gregory. Because Antone was 16 at the time of the killing, the judge could opt to sentence him to life in prison with parole possible after 25 years instead of life without parole, according to the Columbus County District Attorney's Office. Antone, along with 2 others, robbed and killed Gachett, 46, on April 13, 2012. I just don't understand why so many people are killing other people, especially a teenager. I am 18 and I could not even imagine spending the rest of my life in prison.
This relates to United States Government and Politics because it deals with the court system and dealing with the sentencing for crimes.
