the difference between 17 and 18

Why does the state say they are an adult at 16 for execution purposes, at 18 for voting and at 21 for drinking? It's bullshit to have three different ages. Pick one and stick to it. 18 seems to be the one that has been picked for most adult related rights. It should apply to all scenarios.

Plus, the death penalty is wrong, so any chipping away at it is a good thing.
