He wasn't some two year old who was sucking on a gun he found on the ground when the trigger was pulled accidentally and shot his mom. No, he was an insane freak he lashed out over something as tiny and pointless to life as a video game...and shot his own mother. I would give anything to have a mother telling me no...or telling me anything at all and he goes ahead and shoots his.

... You do realize that there are varying degrees of psychological issues, right?
Example: I know three different people with schizophrenia- All of them completely able to function in normal society without medication. Then, there are people that drift in and out of lucidity and dementia like Charles Manson. One moment, they make perfect sense. Then, the next moment, withdrawn deep into a state of paranoia, delusions, hallucinations and vagary. Charles Manson is still yet kept alive. You think a KID deserves a worse punishment than Charles Manson?
If anything, he should be institutionalized. I mean, they can't even receive medication while they're incarcerated in the prison system and death surely isn't a way out. To keep someone on death row is more costly to us than it is to keep him alive. Do you actually know
any numbers involved in this? The appeal process is INSANE on Death Row. In Texas, of all places, an inmate on Death Row will stay alive for about nine years and six months.
I'm sorry to tell you this, sweetheart- Life isn't black or white, right or wrong. There are gray areas and circumstances; mind you, most of which you know nothing about.
