7. I think the investigation should proceed.

I think appropriate criminal justice and due process procedures should be followed. If deemed appropriate, these young men should be either deported or incarcerated, depending on the law (I don't know which would apply).

If they are tried and found guilty (if that's what happens to kids on student visas), they should go to prison and serve a sentence commensurate with the crimes for which they are putatively convicted.

If they wind up back in Kazakhstan, I don't know what could, would, or should happen to them. I hope they get a trial here.

Fortunately, I'm not in the judging business, and I sincerely hope I am not called for jury service in any of these cases.
