What is the punishment for murder under 18?

Answer 1

It depends on the legislation of the country.

Added: (in the US) if the juvenile is of sound mind and of the "age of legal reason" they may well be bound over for trial as an adult and subject to 'adult' penality.

Answer 2

Two many variables to consider:

Situation could be anything from self-defense to armed robbery, a misdemeanor to a felony, possible assault with intent to kill. They could be charged as an adult or a juvenile.

Answer 3

Someone that age is very likely to be bound over for trial as an adult. In which case he would receive a full adult trial and an adult sentence for the crime.

Answer 4

For someone that age, committing that type of crime, the likliehood is high that the court would try that individual as an adult. They could be subject to same sentence as an adult.
