Videos of teens being sentenced to life in prison are going viral—and they’re hard to watch. Some sit emotionless as the verdict is read; others break down, begging for mercy.
It’s shocking to see such young faces tied to such violent crimes. Psychologists say it’s the mix of youth and brutality that unsettles us most.
While some say these teens deserve no sympathy, others see it as a sign of a broken system. Either way, the footage is a haunting reminder of how final a life sentence truly is.
