Well, he is a child. I have not seen an article about this. I have no idea if the child was on medication that could have altered behavior or has a behavioral or psychological disorder. Since he is a child, I do believe there is hope in rehabilitation. I do hope the courts do see that he is a child who needs help and will make sure that he receives the help. Thankfully the Supreme Court stopped the death penalty from being levied against children. But I also hope this child is treated as a child crying for help, rather than as an adult, unable to be changed.
