I don't think it matters how old they are when they're tried; it's all about how old they were when they committed the crime. That's why the John Malvo kid in the sniper case didn't get the death penalty even though he was older than 18 when he was actually convicted.
That being said, I think these kids can still be tried as adults, but they wouldn't be eligible for capital punishment even if the court wanted that to be the case.
