One of Barnard student Tessa Majors’ killers — who was given slap on the wrist — still in trouble thanks to Raise the Age law

The case of Tessa Majors, a Barnard student tragically killed, takes a troubling turn as one of her alleged killers, a 13-year-old, continues to engage in violent behavior. Despite being given a lenient sentence under the Raise the Age law, he has now been charged with attempted murder and assaulting a jail guard. This situation raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of juvenile justice reforms and the safety of communities, highlighting the urgent need for a reevaluation of how young offenders are handled in the legal system.
