37. 3 of them were adults....
According to the article two of the accused are 19 and one is 20.

I don't think the 17 year old should be exempt from life in prison either despite that individual's legal status as a minor. There comes a point where the nature of the crime shows a maliciousness that can't be attributed to pre-adult "naivety".

There may be other circumstances that would allow for some leniency for the 17 year old but it would have to be pretty extreme.
