9. My take on him:

I’m ok with this kid not getting the death penalty. I don’t care about his rights, you understand. But as young as he is he has royally screwed up his life. He’ll never get married. He’ll never have children. Never do anything productive. He will be in a cage forever.
You sentence him to death, and you give him something to do. He’ll be working with his lawyer on his endless appeals. You sentence him to life without the possibility of parole, and he has nothing to do except breathe and try to escape prison rape for one more day. All of his decisions for the rest of his life will be made by someone else. And as young as he is, that is going to be a long time.
