Boy A in the Ana Kriegel case moved to adult prison

He could be 18 now so I assume it's standard to move inmates to an adult prison when they reach 18.

Article says he is 17.

I can only read that boy B is 17. I am operating with only one good eye so could've misssed it.

Yes, you are correct. I misread it.

The only reason I could see to keep their names secret is to protect the families. They should not suffer because of his actions. Those brothers/sisters and parents are innocent of that monsters actions.

I think the "theory" behind the principle in general is that individuals who commit crimes under a certain age should not be punished forever for that "mistake" they made when they were a child. Records are essentially wiped clean when a person becomes an adult for nearly all intents and purposes.

To reiterate, for the above I am not talking about this specific case. Am talking about the general theoretical principle. So they don't do it to protect the family. They do it to protect the criminal.

For the specific case, I would have no personal argument against the two people in question being named. Legally they can't be though.

You cannot have a system where convicted criminals cannot be named based on the impact to their family members.

The decision not to name them can be based on the criminal's protection or for the victim's protection but not on the criminal's family members. If that were the case, nobody would ever be named.

Yep they will. Believe or not bit most prisoners get to see the papers daily in prison and have T.Vs too so get to see the news too.

Its only a matter of them putting two and two together.

I can't imagine it will be easy for them in the prison and nor should it be.

Whatever happens to them is no fault but their own. They done something horrible and unspeakable to an innocent, beautiful, very naive young girl who just wanted to be liked for who she was. She did not deserve what happened to her but Boy A and Boy B deserve everything bad that happens to them.

they are adults so therefore the move is appropriate.

should they be named ? It’s not up to the department of justice to name them…I don’t think.

however the news media probably should name them. They are providing a public service. The murderers have been protected due to their age. On attaining adulthood the news media should in the interest of public safety say…

” the boys convicted the murder and sexual assault and physical assault of Ana Kriegal are…X person and Y person “

don’t forget, poor Ana was physically assaulted, sexually assaulted and murdered. This wasn’t some accident, or game that went wrong, they called for her, targeted her, attacked her, raped her, tortured her, murdered her….…. Two little absolute abhorrent malevolent ghouls… The sentences handed down by the judge considering the nature of the crimes was shameful…reviewing their sentences after 8 and 12 year’s respectively ? Absolute jokeshop ‘justice’ system.

And the father of one shouting abuse at the judge.
