Great. And now this @$$hole's fellow young Virginians (the ones who actually abide by the law) will get to pay for his lifetime incarceration in a cushy prison.
The perp is on the left; his girlfriend is on the right.

A teenager who killed a mother and her son in their Dale City home during a botched burglary -- a chilling crime that the teen called a "mishap" Friday -- will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Xavier Pinckney, 18, was sentenced Friday to life without the possibility of parole for the December 2008 shootings of James M. Smith, 19, a college student who had just returned home for a holiday break, and Smith's mother, Jean, 39.
Pinckney, then a junior at C.D. Hylton Senior High School, climbed through a window in the Smiths' home on the afternoon of Dec. 19 with plans to steal valuables to sell for cash. He ended up shattering a family that was beloved in the community.
"This has had an unspeakable impact on myself and my children," Rick Smith, Jean Smith's husband and James's father, said in court. "I am faced with the prospect of trying to rebuild my life, trying to be both parents to three incredible children. And at some point trying to move on, but I'm not sure I can."
Family members said Rick and Jean Smith's youngest son, Liam, 10, must stay with a babysitter before and after school instead of being with his mother. He is scared he could lose his father, too. Daughter Sarah, 23, celebrated her college graduation without her mother. And son Connor, 17, still struggles with the memory of finding his brother's body.
During the sentencing hearing in Prince William County Circuit Court, Pinckney read a rambling statement he had prepared on a sheet of yellow legal paper. He called the killings a "mishap" and said the tragedy would make the Smith family "stronger."

Those jack%$# no doubt marxist indoctrinated.
“Xavier Pinckney”
I’m guessing Norwegian.

Let me guess. The perp was smart enough to commit capital murder before turning 18.
It’s really not for the killer in a case like that to insinuate “well, I did you a favor in disguise.” Those icy cold remarks are going to follow him the rest of his life whenever, say, a governor gets a notion to look over possible pardon cases. I would have thought his attorney would have advised him better.
Anyhow, you don’t go out with guns having mischief in mind without having to deal with the possibility you are going to visit great tragedy on people and families with no sense, rhyme, or reason.
Naw, it has to be Amish
He needs to be tortured in public to send a message.
Too bad the Supreme Court made that horrible ruling.
“Picture of Puke and his attractive girlfriend here.”
Yeah, I bet her parents are proud of her.
Eventually a governor like Huckabee will let him out.
Poorly written headline for this story.
Reads like he killed his own mother. He killed a woman and her son. Not his mother and her son.
Geeeez.
The statement this perp made at his sentencing was absolutely chilling.
That being said, the perp used guns that he rummaged for in the victims home to kill them - some people in the web site comments were trying to blame the victims for having guns in their home.
The punishment should be decided by the aggrieved. The punishment could be take yourself out with this pill or the family takes your life in whatever way the feel is appropriate.
This story is played out hundreds of times a year. Same kind of person, different made up name.
It’s not the title that appears in the print version (why, I don’t know). The print version reads: “Teen sentenced to life in killing of Pr. William mother and son”
“Don’t blame me — your evil gun shot you.”
Any pictures of the victims?
“Those icy cold remarks are going to follow him the rest of his life whenever, say, a governor gets a notion to look over possible pardon cases.”
He’s going to be rotting in prison long after everyone he ever knew on the outside has forgotten he exists.
