A New take on Teens Being Tried as Adults

Posted by Jovan Lewis in Science and Society - Best - E on

Shannon and I were using what we learned about neurological disorders to take a new look on teens being tried as adults for crimes. It's a known fact that the brain isn't fully developed until about 21 years and that being the most complex organ in the body there's a lot it does that we don't exactly know how, this shines a light on point being made on court decisions for one with a lower brain capacity.

I liked that you used music in your podcast, I think it would've caught the listener more if the music came sooner.

i liked how it was a back and forth strategy between the two students.

Do you know if there was a similar event like this and if so how did the doctors deal with this?
