In general, I agree with you. However, the perpetrators in this case proudly filmed themselves committing this heinous act and broadcast it to the world. Their guilt is not in doubt. They are plainly violent sociopaths. They are irredeemable. This story is akin to an old Law and Order episode I saw years ago about a very young girl (around age 8) who had lured away and then killed one boy and was ultimately given probation by a family court judge. The closing scene was her making eyes at another young boy, about the age of her first victim. It was chilling. It would be even more chilling if these four were ever allowed to walk freely amongst us again. The only way to insure that doesn't happen is execution.
I heard a report that said the victim's family had dropped him off to "meet a friend" from school at a McDonald's. The "friend" is one of the four perpetrators. He is not worth the cost of a bullet to put in his head.
