Doyle case highlights Illinois felony murder debate in juvenile cases
The Doyle case mirrors broader disputes over applying felony murder to juveniles. Steven Drizin argues the law is overbroad while Doyle, 17 at the time, faced a 30 year sentence for home invasion and involuntary manslaughter after pleading to lesser charges. The story traces Doyle’s childhood, the burglary setup, and calls for clemency as Illinois weighs reforms.
