I just watched this movie, I personally agree the outcome was flawed. Death was unfortunate, its important to take into account that this is a outcome due to the poor parenting, i am disgusted that in this case Jimmy's parents are more concerned with locking them up and only worried about their own justice instead of doing something more about the problem such as to raising awareness about how to prevent this from happening to other children going down bad paths, the problem doesn't go away jus
Thanks wgazeki I am glad to see that others are understanding the injustice.I refused to just say oh wow thats not right.I have stepped forward to see how I can help every little bit counts.
I saw the documentary and also read independent news articles on this story and while it is sad that these young men are spending the rest of their lives in prison, I feel the sentencing was just. They were gang members, and each had a history of criminal behavior.
Neither of your suppositions are true or accurate. Brandon Hein had NO previous record (official or not) of any criminal behavior. The gang assertion is also weak, if not superfluous. But the main point in terms of the gang assertion is that the judge ordered it to NOT be included in the trial, and the prosecutors ignored that and continued to press the issue, when it was unfounded to begin with, AND dis-allowed by the judge at the same time. THAT is known as "Prosecutorial Mis-conduct".
Yes, as Alan Dershowitz points out, it's really a matter of "proportionality". This WAS a manslaughter case. Perhaps mitigated by self-defense, in which case it would have been "involuntary manslaughter", the sentence for which all these defendants have long since already served.

Very interesting documentary.It is a must see I believe that the sentence was way to harsh.
