Question
A law was passed that raised the age of criminal responsibility to 15 years old. Mr. X and Mr. Y were previously convicted of crimes they committed when they were 14 years old. They were already 25 years old, which is why the court forgot to release them. Mr. X notified his warden and made the necessary applications for his release. Mr. Y did not notify the warden, but he claimed he was discriminated because while X was released based on the new law, he was still left in prison even if he was also qualified to be released. What is the problem of Mr. Y?Group of answer choicesMr. Y does not deserve to be released based on substantive due processMr. Y needs to go through procedural due process and apply for his release
Solution
The problem of Mr. Y is that he needs to go through procedural due process and apply for his release. Even though the new law applies to him, he still needs to notify the appropriate authorities and make the necessary applications for his release, just like Mr. X did. The law does not automatically release individuals who fall under its provisions, they must take action to have it applied to their case.
