  • An 8yr old should never be tried as an adult. That is a second grader and yes he did something wrong but how dare they think that he can comprehend all that he does. This is so ridiculous...~Raven

  • THIS IS CRAZY!!!...WHAT THE HELL IS OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM COMING TO..THEY WILL LET A CHILD RAPIST WALK FREE WITH LITTLE OR NO TIME OR EVEN LETS ALLOW A REPEAT DRUNK DRIVER DRIVE WITH A YELLOW PLATE ON HIS CAR AND ALLOW THEM TO EVEN DRIVE WITH KIDS IN THE CAR....COME ON PEOPLE WHAT THE HELL IS OUR LAWS EVEN FOR ...OH YEAH LETS CONVICT AN 8 YR.OLD OF MURDER AND TRY HIM AS AN ADULT AND HOUSE HIM WITH ADULT OFFENDORS..THEN LETS SEE IF IN 20 YR. HE COMES OUT REHABILTATED...JUST DONT MAKE SENSE!!!

  • This child is innocent. His original story of finding the men already shot is the only scenario matching the crime scene and evidence.

  • if an 8 year old is considered an adult, surely 15 year olds can have c onsensual sex?

  • Honestly I don't care how old someone is. You kill someone you should be executed. End of story.

    

  • @fasfsdfasd Who has the right to judge whether to know if he really knew?

  • @theELEGUY That would be the better option.

  • That is so not right.

  • who the fuck cars if he knows or comprehends what he did? He's a fucking murderer. Let him fry.

  • I was already appalled that they did this to 16 year olds.. what the fuck is wrong with the US?!

  • @marniespeaks

    If that's true, in Australia it would be a mistrial and any evidence would be inadmissable.
