[QUOTE="Star*, post: 303789, member: 4964"] There is a huge case trying to be overturned here - Christopher Pittman. You can google it if you want to read an interesting case. The boy had a horrible upbringing. At 12 years old he went to live with his grandparents after being molested by one of his mom's boyfriend's. The grandparents took him to a doctor that put him on Zoloft. He claims he heard voices that told him to shoot his grandparents with a shotgun and burn the house. Then he took off in their SUV, got it stuck on a back road. A man came by and got him unstuck. He went to a friends house to play video games. The sheriff found him and took him in for questioning. He lied and said he had no idea what happened, then changed his story and said the voices told him to do it. They held him in jail from 12 - 16 then gave him a trial as an adult. They found him guilty and sentenced him to prison until he is 42. He's been a model prisoner. The supreme court denied his appeal. Everyone here is torn about letting him out early. Some say - No voices he is a killer. Some say - could be voices - just a sad kid with a bad past, poor choices - let him out. I say he had no life up to 12 - but to get out at 42 for murdering his grandparents is very lucky that he didn't get 2 life sentences. I think however for what his Mother did to him - she should have gotten life, but bad parents NEVER have to pay. :frowny: [/QUOTE]
