Since he’s a minor he’ll be released when he’s 21(??)

He can be tried as an adult. Throw away the key. It’s one thing to be mad at your parents but what did his little brothers and sister do to him? Bad seed.

I know of a case where the parents denied a 14 yoa going to a party.

He shot them both in bed used a 4 wheeler to drag the bodies to the barn.

Then invited all is druggie friends to come and party at his house.

Give him a quick trial, then death penalty, then death.

I think Alabama can hold him until he is 21. Pretty short sentence for 5 murders.

As far as I’m concerned, the age of accountability for murder is 12.

Was Nebraska Couple's Murder Revenge or Random?
This is off tangent but the story made me remember this story of how the investigation was corrupt.

And you get two guesses where he saw the violent killing and mayhem ... are there video games in his life which graphically portray shootings and thebloody mayhem? I would bet a crisp 100 bill there are.

"And you get two guesses where he saw the violent killing and mayhem."

I wonder what the relationship was like between the father, step-mother, and biological mother. Sometimes kids get caught in ugly custody battle dramas. Sometimes the kids egg them on (especially pre-teens and teens), thinking it makes them an adult.

When a loved one whom you truest tells you over and over and over and over and over that your other loved ones are horrible monsters, it can impact way more than some video game.

Horrific. I especially despise the deaths of little children. What the hell is wrong with some people?
