She was 12 when the murders happened. She's also still living in a group home. She's allowed to leave for the day to attend school now. What do you think is the appropriate punishment for a 12 year old? Lock them up and throw away the key?
Her ability to attend school will help her fit back into society, which should be the goal of any incarceration.
I think you should also mention that she didn't do this alone. She had a 23 year old boyfriend who was given three life sentences.
