However, is it true that they can't hand out the death penalty to someone under the age of 18 even though being charged as an adult? That's what I had heard and I don't know the judicial system well enough to comment on it. I reckon if that's the case he'll just spend life in prison...
You are correct. In Ohio, no minor that is tried as an adult may receive the death penalty.
On a side note, I had a kid today write a note that said "Give me my money" with a stick figure holding a gun, shooting another stick figure. Our school is located less than 30 minutes from Chardon. Kids just don't get it. Sadly, the only real punishment he received was me going nuts on him as we walked to the principal's office.
