Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Eugene Arthur Moore sentenced Nathaniel Abraham, 13, the youngest American sentenced as an adult for murder, to seven years in a maximum security juvenile detention center and release thereafter. He rejected prosecutors' push for adult-prison time absent rehabilitation by age 21. The judge condemned the national trend of trying younger offenders as adults and urged law changes to restore age-based protections. If convicted again on a separate burglary charge, he faces additional proceedings.
