Summary
When 16-year-old Cassie Stoddart was brutally murdered in a small Idaho town, police were led to two teenage boys: Adam Draper and Torey Adamcik.
The boys documented everything in a videotape, from recording Cassie in the school hallway to confessing the gory details of their crime. They were both sentenced to life in prison.
Emily and Shane are breaking down this case and addressing the controversy around minors who are imprisoned for life… Is it cruel and unusual punishment or can it be justified in a case like this?
