The kid had gotten arested before (I think that was one of the things that led to his mother’s resignation) but this one is a little strange, because the article seemed to indicate that he was being robbed and only stabbed the other person in self defense - so why did they arrest him on those charges? Furthermore, he seems to have hit an artery only by accident and did not set out to kill the guy.
Very strange story, unless perhaps he was robbing the place with the other four people mentioned and they got into an argument.
In any case, it’s true that it wouldn’t seem to have much to do with his mother.
“...he was being robbed...”
Yeah, well that may be his story and he may be sticking to it, but I’m pretty sure it’s BS. This kid’s been in trouble with the law before and the guy he killed was a known associate of his. So, which is more likely that his friend or acquaintance was trying to mug him, or that the boys got into a little disagreement and things got out of control.
I’m willing to believe that the death was unintended but you know, that stuff happens sometimes when you stab people. Which is why you should avoid hanging around with folks who might need stabbing at some point.
