The Universal law of the Creator God says; "Whoso shed innocent blood shall be put to death... For the life of the flesh is in the blood."
With stipulation that this murder act was premeditated by the killer(s). It appear to be so with these teenage boys. They are guilty of death themselves for taking another man's live without being provoke in the first place.
No trial is needed to convict them of murder--they intended to kill the cab driver by hiring him to take them to the intended place where they actually would kill him.
Now, if the act was an accidental, then a trial is needed to prove that the cause of death to the cab driver was accidental and not a premeditated thought. Then compensation maybe necessary for the loss of that life because it was an accident that caused the death.
With this kind of ruling if apply - will save a lot of expense of a drawn out lengthy trial when in fact it wasn't necessary if we have a perfect law to go by.
