2018年,一名14岁女孩在都柏林被谋杀;最高法院作出限制未成年人无期徒刑的判决后,一名被判有罪的青少年的无期徒刑正在上诉之中。 A 14-year-old girl was murdered in Dublin in 2018; one convicted youth’s life sentence is under appeal following a Supreme Court ruling limiting life sentences for minors.

一名14岁女孩Ana Kriegel于2018年在都柏林被谋杀,两名被判有罪的青少年之一,又称Boy A,获准有更多的时间对无期徒刑提出上诉。 A 14-year-old girl, Ana Kriegel, was murdered in Dublin in 2018, and one of the two youths convicted, known as Boy A, has been granted more time to appeal his life sentence. 延长期限是在最高法院作出具有里程碑意义的裁决之后作出的,即未成年人的无期徒刑只应适用于其行为与成年人相似的特殊情况。 The extension follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling that life sentences for minors should only apply in exceptional cases where their actions were comparable to an adult’s. 依据第八修正案保护规定,法院的裁决允许对青少年谋杀案件重判,促使对Boy A的原无期徒刑进行复审,最低刑期为12年,加上性侵犯罪12年。 The court’s decision, based on Eighth Amendment protections, allows for re-sentencing in youth murder cases, prompting a review of Boy A’s original sentence of life with a 12-year minimum, plus 12 years for sexual assault. 上诉程序继续进行,定于12月5日举行听证会。 The appeal process continues, with a hearing set for December 5. 该案引发了关于青年司法和判刑标准的全国辩论。 The case has sparked national debate over youth justice and sentencing standards.
