Talk:Quantel Lotts

Notability and WP:CRIMINAL
I've removed the proposed deletion tag per guidelines given at WP:PRD. Lotts has received attention from the The New York Times, The Guardian, other papers, and from the United States House of Representatives because his case is emblematic of the issues surrounding treatment of juvenile criminals in the American judicial system. Specifically, Lotts' case is cited as an example of cruel punishment for minors: he has been imprisoned for life, without the possibility of parole, after a tortured childhood and the killing of his stepbrother when he was 14.

I probably haven't explicitly stated the significance of his case in the same manner as The Guardian and The New York Times. I'll try to rectify that shortly. -Darouet (talk) 01:59, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
