No offense, but I'll take Amnesty International's word over your armchair research any day. :P

 

 you mean their word that they were under 18 at the time of the offense.  they dont say the US executed them when they were children.  You are aware how long it usually takes for someone to get executed within the united states, right? all but one were 17 at the time of the offence, so their trials likely werent even over.  the other was 16 and he was executed at 30.

OK, I see what you're saying. Nevertheless, it is rather unfortunate that 'children' are put on death row in the first place IMO.
