Democrat Lawmakers in Maryland Introduce Bill Preventing Anyone 25 Under from Being Charged with Felony Murder
by Anthony Scott Mar. 7, 2023 1:45 pm

Democratic lawmakers in Maryland are attempting to pass a bill to prevent criminals under 25 from being convicted of felony murder.

In the state of Maryland, “Felony murder occurs when someone is killed while a felony crime, like robbery, is being committed.’

House Bill 1180 , also called the Youth Accountability and Safety Act, would ultimately prevent anyone under 25 from being charged with felony murder.

LOOK:



The new bill was introduced by Democratic Delegate Charlotte Cruchfield.

Cruchfield’s reasoning behind the new bill is that a person’s frontal lobes are not fully developed until the age of 25.

Republicans, however, are not on board with the idea of murderers getting off the hook.

A person's frontal lobes are well enough developed by the time they're 17 or 18 to appreciate the basic distinction between right and wrong, and to appreciate that one should not steal, rob, assault, or murder, and that hanging out with a crowd that engages in those things is a good way to get into serious trouble if things go sideways.

That is so much bohonkus. A person is an adult at 25. If they don't know right from wrong by that age, they never will.

Fine. They shouldn't be able to vote until age 25, either.

Or be forced to register for the draft, buy alcohol, get a drivers license...the republicans should just keep adding amendments like that to the bill. The democrats are really working to be the party of mayhem, death and destruction.

All one needs to do is look at the pic of Ms. Cruchfield:

... to think, "who is she trying to protect?"
It figures...

Some, like Cruchfield's, never seem to develop.
