My point this entire time was that the focus should be on education, and making him understand why it was wrong.
I just don't think it's right to hold something that happens at 14 over somebody for the rest of their life. I don't think that does any good for society and think it actually just means it's more likely that he becomes resentful and hateful and then passes that on to his kids.

I don’t disagree, but every single one of your posts has ignored the fact that no one else believes he is truly remorseful for his actions, and his actions since have not done anything to show his remorse. The same cannot be said of the other boy involved in the incident, so I don’t think it is fair to say that this is just biased.
The only time he started “apologizing” was when it became clear it was going to affect him.
I agree with your generalization. I also don’t believe it should be applicable in this case.
