But the Florida teenagers were sentenced last November to eight and seven years in prison, respectively, after admitting that they had bludgeoned their father to death with a baseball bat. The previous year brought two other trials of Florida kids who had committed murder: Lionel Tate, also 14, got a life sentence for beating a 6-year-old playmate to death, and Nathaniel Brazill, another 14-year-old, was sent to prison...
