They need a team? Sentencing for minors is much much more lenient than once they turn 18. Gangs / kids know this. Young kids in gangs are eager to rise through the ranks, one way to do this is to serve some time to earn respect. So young kids pull the trigger in gang endorsed killings, get sent away for a few short years and come out as legit bad guys. It’s like finishing school.
