When Kids Get Life

So here’s the story.Well, there are actually five stories. Those of Jacob Ind, Trevor Jones,Andrew Medina, Nathan Ybanez,and Erik Jensen. All of these individuals share a unique, and disturbing, story. They all received the same treatment in the Colorado justice system - a sentence of life without thepossibility for parole while juveniles. Most of them did not actually commit murder, but instead were convicted under the FelonyMurder Statute. On April 1st in Hellems 246 we will besharing their stories, which were apart of a PBS Frontline special “WhenKids Get Life”.
