Feld Quoted by Rolling Stone & MPR Re Juveniles

Professor Barry Feld was quoted in the November 30, 2006, issue of Rolling Stone magazine -- "Can Nate Ybanez Be Forgiven?" Rolling Stone did a very extensive article on juveniles tried and convicted as adults and sentenced to Life Without Parole (LWOP) sentences. The article was a case study of a troubled teen who suffered a life-long history of horrific parental abuse and who killed his mother. Feld consulted with the author, Paul Solotaroff, about adolescent development, prosecution of juveniles as adults, and the politics of crime over the past several decades that led many states to adopt LWOP sentences and to impose them on young offenders. Barry Feld was also quoted on November 30, 2006, on MPR discussing the oral arguments before the Minnesota Supreme Court involving the appeal of Jason McLaughlin, the Riccori high school shooting case.
