Uh, I think he got downvoted for being wrong, not for being reasonable. The US used to execute people who were minors when they committed their offense, but no longer does. It was abolished by the Supreme Court in 2005, and the last time it happened was in 2003 (the execution of a 32 year old man who, when he was 17, deliberately burned two people to death.) So his information is almost two decades out of date.
The 2005 SCOTUS decision abolishing it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roper_v._Simmons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roper_v._Simmons
