Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's supported the idea that juveniles should be imprisoned without parole. For him, people don't know what capability or good things the person who died from the crime or who was a victim of the crime could have contributed to the society. He opposed the view of others who were claiming that imprisoning the juveniles was unfair. The statement shows his strong conviction to what he believes in.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the article entitled "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?," written by Nina Totenberg.

The main idea of the article is to show whether juveniles who commit crime should be put behind bars without parole or not. Opposing sides are being mentioned in the article with some claiming that juveniles still have the chance to be rehabilitated and with others claiming that juveniles also deserve to be punished.

So, this explains the answer.
