Pretty hard for his lawyers to plead insanity when the kid planned this murder so carefully. But they'll still try to get him off. Try him as an adult and put him away for life, without parole.

Not all kids are like this...he's just a bad apple among some wonderful kids that I know...I hope they put this one away for a long time...he is like a bear that once it attacks a person they deal with it because they know it has crossed a line

Nothing but an animal. This kid should be locked up for life. He was probably already exhibiting violent behavior at home, but it took this awful tragedy to put him away from society, because his parents didn't do a thing about it.
