Read the article "Biro Sentenced to Life in Winnetka Slayings" by Terry Wilson.When you're finished, write a ONE paragraph reflection about the article and how it fits into our larger unit.

Here are some questions you MAY want to consider in your response: - Did David deserve leniency in his sentence because of his age? Or was his crime so heinous that he deserved to get life without parole? - Even if you feel GENERALLY that teenagers should not get LWOP, do you feel like David's case might be one of the exceptions where it is warranted? - How does his behavior in the courtroom influence how you feel? - Knowing what you know about teenage brains, do you think a "not-fully-developed-frontal-lobe" played a part in the decisions David made that night? - Do you think that if the judge knew what we now know about teenage brains he would have sentenced David differently?

I would suggest re-reading the article and taking notes. A one-paragraph reflection should not be too hard after that. I would throw in at least one quote from the article in your paragraph.
