Insight examines the case of two teenagers who are members of the Tlingit tribe in Alaska, who violenty beat a delivery pizza man. The two boys pleaded guilty in state court and were sentenced to several years in prison. A member of their tribe offered the judge a deal in which the two would be released into the custody of the tribe which would punish the boys according to their laws.
