Not every judicial system is built on retaliation. Some are built on rehabilitation and a secure society.

What should be the appropriate sentence for multiple killings?

For a 15 year old? Obviously the judge and jury have a fuller picture than I, and I agree with the parents of the victims that their children got unwarranted death sentences. But I do believe making parole possible in 30+ years would be appropriate, just given his age and opportunity to develop his brain to full maturity, and hopefully learn empathy and remorse.
