For sure, there needs to be accountability, but there is more to the story. According to his adoptive (white) mom, the kid has struggled with a number of mental issues his whole life, including autism, ADHD, etc.
It's easy to just say the parents failed and the kid should face consequences. I think the parents should have been more aware of and eager to change the reward system the school used. For the kid, though, should those consequences be 30 years in prison?
He won't be required to do the full 30 years unless he chooses to, but what else do you suggest for a violent animal that has never been under control during it's lifetime?
The 30 years is nothing more than a safety net in the case that the beast can't act like a human long enough to get an early release. In the case it does what it always does, you have the position locked in to protect innocent victims as long as possible.
You are what your record says you are.. in this case it's an unmanageable threat to society.

Bingo.
One of the primary purposes...actually THE purpose, in my opinion...is to protect members of society from those who would do them harm.
That's it. People can talk about justice, rehabilitation, etc, all day long. But at the end of the day, the primary purpose is to protect the rest of us from people who are dangerous.
