If it hadn’t been for the British Press we would not have known about it.

Our MSM is too shy.

It did hit the Boston area papers, etc. It was in Danvers MA, one town from me, and the victim was a fellow alum of mine (though much younger), Salem State University. Mass. has no death penalty and he's "only 14" but I believe he's being tried as an adult.

Salem (Ma.) News

>>DANVERS — Nearly a month after Danvers High School math teacher Colleen Ritzer was killed, prosecutors have revealed grim new details about the moments before her death, a death they say came at the hands of a 14-year-old boy named Philip Chism. Chism was indicted today by the Essex County grand jury not only on a first degree-murder charge, but for aggravated rape and armed robbery.

>>Prosecutors said in a press release announcing the indictment that Ritzer was sexually assaulted by Chism with an object, which was not identified. The charge is described as “aggravated rape” because it occurred during the course of the murder and robbery. Prosecutors also allege that Chism used a box cutter to rob Ritzer of her iPhone, her credit cards and her underwear.

>>The discovery of her body came following a search for both her and Chism, who was found walking on Route 1 in Topsfield. Chism gave a video-recorded interview to police, according to court documents. Law enforcement sources have said Ritzer’s body was put into a recycling bin, and that school surveillance cameras captured Chism wheeling her out of the school. Employees of a Danvers movie theater say Chism bought tickets for a late-afternoon showing of the film “Blue Jasmine” that day.
