Samast, kome je u vrijeme kad je pucao bilo 17 godina, osuđen je od strane suda za maloljetnike -- što ga je spasilo da ne dobije doživotnu kaznu bez mogućnosti pomilovanja, što je presuda koja mu je bila prvobitno izrečena, pa zatim smanjena.
Samast, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, was sentenced by a juvenile court -- saving him from receiving life without parole, the sentence the court first handed down, and then reduced.
