Lloyd Francis, at 21, has a long criminal history that includes multiple arrests for serious offenses such as attempted murder and robbery. Arrested at 14, Francis spent only around two years in prison due to the Raise the Age Law in New York, which keeps many juvenile records sealed and limits accountability. Despite finally receiving a 10-year sentence for his second attempted murder charge, it is substantially shorter than the possible 25 years he could have faced if tried as an adult earlier. Law enforcement officials express concern over the implications of these laws on public safety and rehabilitation.
