This is particularly true in Tennessee, where the state sentences juvenile offenders to a quasi-life sentence of 51 years.
Fault Lines investigates the case of Almeer Nance, convicted of felony murder for an armed robbery he took part in as a 16-year-old in 1996. He received a sentence of 51 years and has no meaningful opportunity to have a second chance in life to reconnect with his family.

the police officer that lied needs to go to jail
-
A 16 year old should not get 51 years in prison also a 16 year old should not walk into people's businesses armed with a gun.
-
“Some people are born bad” Show me a baby that is inherently bad or even a 5 year old. Ridiculous.
-
It doesn't matter. He shouldn't have been an accomplice. But if the Amanda's out he should be out too
-
Very well put together, and should be utilized to show the corruptness within the Police department. Officer's should be held to a higher standard when they break any rule of Law. I pray this Brother and all the youth that fall under this minimum sentencing of 51yrs.find relief through this story.

If this hurts me so much. A total stranger, can you imagine what it is doing to the family and Almeer.😭😭😢
-
The physical presence of an accomplice can actually immobilise a victim, making him unable to act or even escape. Don't ever write that off.
-
You dont send 16 years old children 51 years in prison .

Alneer‼ praying he gets to come home to his family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽this justice system sucks in Tennessee and I am a living witness
-
The discrimination in TN between male and female is undeniable.
-
If he was involved he should do time. At least he’s alive and breathing. The dead man no longer exists. And his family can never speak to him again.
-
Heartbreaking
-
I pray for his Families Strength , I honestly know how it feels we are struggling with the Same.
-
He has the most positive attitude for someone in his situation. He his a wonderful human who definitely deserves freedom!! To know him is to love him.
-
All the police should be prosecuted and pay. I'm sure this is one of many cases with similar circumstances
-
A 16 year old isn’t ruined yet. They have a chance to be reformed. The state should be ashamed for this.
-
"Almost every country in the world treats juveniles who commit murder differently to the United States." Just letting everyone know Tennessee is in the United States. Just to be clear...
-
Ok? He helped commit murder and paid the price, what’s wrong with this?
