From the article:

"The Democratic delegate behind the bill objects to this because anyone under the age of 25 has not had their brain fully develop. How would a 23-year-old know that participating in a violent crime such as robbery could lead to someone dying? They are basically children."

And yet these same people want to lower the voting age.

If ANY law enforcement endorses this...

Well, so close to DC how long would it take to change if a victim was a politician?

OK. But no one under 25 can leave the state particularly if they have murdered someone.
