There was an element of "pre-crime" to the original sentences. Not just this case, but the article alludes to an entire program to sentence young people who have multiple brushes with the law to life long periods. Taking young teenagers off the streets for the rest of their lives purely on the basis that they are likely to continue committing crimes if they were released again and not for actual crimes committed.
The COP program was done away with, but someone should revisit those horrific sentences given to teens that effectively take their entire lives away. Guilty, yes. But 90+ years for a case where no one got hurt? Wow.
