My guess is "not guilty by diminished responsibility".
Then I'd like to see someone in charge of him being up before a jury.

Whatever the cause, unless someone comes up with a logical explanation, I see no option other than the return of the noose.

I think it’s more about cutting the costs of keeping offenders alive in prisons .

I don’t think the boy needs justice . He needs and most likely is receiving the most skilled medical attention available .

JBR , two questions1) Do you really believe someone” in full possession of their faculties” , knowing right from wrong assumed would do what this youth did?
2) Capital Punishment cannot be said to be the deterrent to impulsive violent crime in my opinion , why do you approve of it coming back ?

2) Because I believe that: (a) it would be an effective deterrent, and I challenge you to prove that it would not; and (b) I believe in a life for a life, as one example of poetic justice which I feel is the fairest form of justice.

Those who feel for and support the murderers (and other criminals for that matter), I suspect, have lived their lives in a nice, safe bubble and have never personally experienced serious crime.
I am absolutely sure that if they did experience any such thing they would change their opinions, even if they are staunch Christians who subscribe to universal forgiveness.
Can you imagine if such people ruled the country? Criminals would take full advantage and have a field day, even more so than they already do!
In fact, do-gooders and hand-wringers are the most dangerous people there are, as they encourage crime.

Although I personally cannot think anyone committing an impulsive violent act would consider the punishment .
To do something on impulse is surely just that ?
