BOSTON - A Massachusetts teenager's confession to police that he killed his math teacher cannot be used in his murder trial, a judge ruled Tuesday even as he allowed a bloody box cutter and other key pieces of evidence to be admitted.

The ruling came in the case of 16-year-old Philip Chism, who has pleaded not guilty to raping and killing 24-year-old Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer on school grounds in October 2013. Despite having been 14 at the time of the killing, Chism is charged as an adult.

One of the worst crimes ever recorded in the U.S. This monster should have been turned loose into South Boston for true “justice” to be delivered. this trial is already a mockery.

I had to peek. Guessed right, but the odds were good it would be!

I kind of wondered myself.

He would not be an adult if it had been just sex. If someone has the mental capacity to commit adult sex crimes, why are they not seen as having the mental capacity for adult sex?

I hate that the Supreme Court won’t let them give him the chair. But you have to answer why a 14-year-old has to commit murder in order not to be innocent?

I miss and long for the days when they would have have slung a rope around this scum and dropped the trap door within an hour of his conviction.

The justice system has enabled evil to reign supreme in this land. It’ll eventually come full circle one day when good people have had enough. Post CWII I imagine...

“I hate that the Supreme Court won’t let them give him the chair. “

There’s no death penalty in MA.
