I represented such a man, given a *life without the possibility of parole* sentence for a crime he committed at age *14*. If there is a hell, the prosecutors who seek these sentences are surely going there.https://twitter.com/MauriceChammah/status/1023947465488302080 …
what would you consider a fair punishment? Life with parole? 30 years? 20? other?
srs question

I'm sympathetic to the argument that brains aren't well developed at young ages. ...but I'm also leery of the 1960s / 1970s "give him 5 years, 4 with good behavior" kind of punishmnent that puts murderers back on the street

For that age and that particular set of facts, maybe 20 to life. (Parole *eligibility after 20 years). For a 17 year old in most murders maybe 25 to life or 30 to life.
