I got to know about Sarah's case from a facebook friend (Thanks Alisa). I know it is hard to have a fair justice system, specially when life is not fair, but this case illustrate something that should not be called justice! Check youtube video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR7mno6p9iQ&feature=related
and decide for yourself if you want to sign a petition to change that . I am not against Life without parole, in fact there are countries that should have a law like that (=Brazil), but its application to minors should be reconsidered.
