I'd say he overreacted slightly.

Any bets that mom describes him as a "good boy" that "wouldn't hurt anyone"? Anyone? Bueller?

Whatever happened to running away? Why do this?
My Grandpa wrecked his Dad's brand-new automobile before he even could take the insurance out on it. He joined the Navy the next day.

Wonder why the different surnames.

So...this kid felt that the penalty for murder and arson would be less severe than the punishment for failing a couple of classes?
Right. Got it.

"A 15-year-old boy allegedly killed his father, then set their home on fire because he was afraid his father would find out he was failing some classes, prosecutors said."
LoL when I first read this it sounded like.. Boy kills his dad.. Then gets afraid that his now dead dad will find out about him failing classes.. So he sets the house on fire... But that wouldn't make any sense...
To: jdm
And this kid gets a C- in Murder. Could've gotten it pushed up to a B if he had just skipped the fire and fled to Mexico before anyone notices something is up. He is in California after all. I wonder if his dad would have been happy with that grade. Our Government schools today!

Parricide. Well he got a failing grade - life in prison!

Is this the wonderful real world "socialization" that government school defenders are always praising?
To: jdm
No. You should not kill your father. But, this did not happen in a vacuum. Seems that Dad may have been a little too hard core to cause his son to do such a thing.
Mine was - but, I never found his gun.

This brings back memories. I remember that long walk back home with a bad report card knowing full well that I was going to get a whipping. The dread was the worse thing. Still, it never occured to me to kill and burn down the house. I suspect there was more going on in this kid's house than what the report says.
