I see nothing wrong with this. Twelve-year-olds are certainly old enough
to know better. The real crime occurred when murderers that age (and
often older) get out in a few years - with a clear record, yet.

Now, this sounds like more of the travesty type, although I'm not sure
why his age matters. Still, 30 years for one victim  is a lot more
severe than 25 for four or five.
