"Cooper Van Huizen was sentenced on May 7 to two consecutive 1- to 15-year prison terms for his role in an armed robbery in November. "Van Huizen, who had never before been convicted of a crime, entered a home in Roy, Utah, on Nov. 4 along with three other teens. The home's two inhabitants were held at gunpoint while the teens gathered $10, a wallet, a cellphone and a bag of marijuana." * Ana Kasparian breaks down the story, and what it says about our criminal justice system, in this clip from The Young Turks.
