(Know and understand that the human brain is not fully developed until the age of 25, he was 13! )
Ronald L Sanford has been imprisoned for nearly 3 decades for a crime he committed at the age of 13. He was sentenced at 15 to 170 years in prison, so he is eligible for parole at age 100. The heinous crime, a double homicide, was committed by Ronald and an older boy when their plan to earn money for the fair by cutting grass was interrupted. The boys ended up with $5 after robbing and murdering two elderly women. The older boy was arrested first, immediately bacame a witness for the prosecutors, blamed Ronald (2 years younger), and was out of prison in 2 years.
I was made aware of his case and situation by the Trevor McDonald documentary on Indiana State Prisons Death Row. This is a heinous sentencing, a 15 year old sentenced to die in prison is an incredible infringement of his human rights. If you are interested in Ronald Sanford, watch the YouTube videos and see for yourself, this man has had his life taken away for the crimes and wrong doings of a child, stop this miscarriage of justice!
He was a child when he committed this crime from a troubled background, he is now an educated and rehabilited man, a gentle soul...If Ronald got a second chance to be in society and in a workable decent environment I think he would be a positive energy in helping others using care and compassion!!! In my opinion.... Keep him in jail longer and the damage may be irreversible, as a society I think we could do a whole lot better with resources by studying human behavior. PLEASE give him his freedom now.
