On the 18th August 1987, 15 year old Sean Lamont Rowe and 13 year old Ronald Lee Sanford hoped they could do some yard work in return for money for the Indiana State Fair. They ended up at the house of two sisters, Anna Louise Harris and Julie Bellmar. Rowe and Sanford suspected that the sisters had money. The teens would end up forcing their way into the home and would later leave the property with $5 for the fair. The bodies of the two sisters would later be found in the basement, the sisters had been stabbed multiple times. 13 year old Ronald Sanford would end up staring down the barrel of a 170 year prison sentence.https://www.change.org/p/curtis-hill-supreme-court-president-donald-trump-free-ronald-l-sanfordMusic is Drumming in the Rain Instrumental by Chad CrouchResources:https://studentsverdict.wordpress.com/2018/02/11/a-double-homicide-and-170-years-in-prison-at-age-13/https://cases.justia.com/indiana/court-of-appeals/2016-49a05-1506-pc-485.pdf?ts=1454083637https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/152000/amr510601998en.pdfhttps://www.hrw.org/news/2005/10/11/united-states-thousands-children-sentenced-life-without-parolehttps://www.hrw.org/reports/2005/us1005/TheRestofTheirLives.pdfhttps://jlc.org/issues/juvenile-life-without-parolehttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/18097984/ronald-l-sanford/https://face2faceafrica.com/article/jailed-170-years-for-a-crime-he-committed-when-13-heres-why-ronald-sanfords-case-should-be-looked-at12https://www.rapsheetz.com/sexaul-offender/ROWE_SEAN/676851https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYUBJq-4pz0https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/juvenile-life-without-parole/https://newspapers.library.in.gov/?a=d&d=INR19870829-01.1.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------https://pivotaleducation.com/nature-nurture-behaviour-inherited-learned/
