how does the psychological factor come into play?
what if these kids are evaluated and it comes back that they have diagnosed psychological disorders? what if they have a previous instances of abuse or trauma?
how does that affect the sentencing in your opinion?
i ask this cause i meet kids in the hospital all the time with psychological disorders, who do terribly violent things, that sometimes really go against their character. sometimes these things are correlated to some previous trauma or abuse and sometimes it's completely random and unexpected.
not saying this is the case here as i don't know anything about these kids but this is an angle that has to be studied. this isn't normal behavior by any means.
