Require 30-year minimum prison term for premeditated murder regardless of age

Petition Details

Change the law to ensure younger people face more serious repercussions for a prosecution for premeditated murder. We want a statutory minimum of 30 years, no matter the age.

Additional Information

Children are killing children and many are able to start a new life after 12 years, but what about the family of the murdered victim - they can't just start their life again. I believe more strict sentences would make perpetrators think twice about planning to murder innocent people, including children.
