Just in case you also don't want to sit through 15 minutes of garbage to find out that he is still out of jail and the judge has not made a determination on whether or not he will stay out of jail, this is for you.

A murderer is a murderer. It does not matter if he is 16 or 60.

Trying to act like he deserves to be near family when he is accused of murdering family. If he was willing to kill her, he is not safe around anyone.

The fact that someone can sexually assault and murder another person and then go home to their family is a total failure in the system and a lack of competence of the judge imo

The absolutely worst part about all this, aside from the young girl dying, is the parents protecting their killer son.

Releasing a high-risk suspect into a home with children despite clear DNA and CCTV evidence is terrifying negligence, proving our courts completely ignore the most vulnerable.

If he commits a crime like this at 16, he will continue to be a threat to women for,the rest of his life. Lock him up and toss the key.
