Idk, I was programming computers at age 11. From experience, I can say you oughtta know better than to shoot someone by then. This kid sounds like a psycho:
"He had made a purchase on his mother's Amazon account for some virtual reality goggles the morning after this homicide occurred"
This has no baring on the issue and is orthogonal.
At 11 years old, their brain is not even remotely close to fully developed. They havent even started puberty yet. It is unhinged and ridiculous to try an eleven year old as an adult.
They literally are only just barely halfway in their development to adulthood.
Just helping people to jog their memory about where they were at back then. I don't know about you but I was long past knowing whether or not to point a loaded gun at my parents and then immediately go online with their account to buy a nice VR headset. Keep that kid the fuck away from me
Well see the neato thing is, you weren't raised by that kids mother.
You might be able to, hopefully, connect the dots that the kid who perhaps struggles with the concept of whether to point a loaded gun at their mother is also going to be the same kid who has a mother... who leaves a loaded gun lying around accessible to a child...
Yeah he's probably a little angel now that you put it that way
