Yeah, bc it was just a simple BS attempt from his defense as they had nothing. Something seriously fucked up (systematic and not a one-off) needed to happen to make this boy a violent rapist and torturer, and subsequently, a ruthless killer by the age of 14 and it sure wasn't moving to another state. But all the actual reasons probably wouldn't have made a good defense, not that this one wasn't pathetically ridiculous.

Most people and most kids in high schools know they are not monitored actively

[@TammyD123]

It’s not uncommon to see some students around after school, coming and going for practices, club meetings, working on projects, and running odd errands for teachers. The office staff had probably gone home and since the majority of the student body had as well, the cameras were likely not monitored at that time of day. To be honest, I’m surprised that in 2013, this school had as many seemingly decent quality cameras as it did since school shooting weren’t as feared as they are today. In 2013, I would have been able to walk in and out of our local schools without anyone questioning it especially if I appeared to have a purpose. Today, all school doors are locked and no one gets in without being buzzed in by office staff, having a specific and necessary purpose for being there, and signing in which includes having their photo taken and printed on to a computer generated pass that details their identity (which is verified with valid ID), purpose, and destination and which must be displayed on their person while on school property. As a parent, I’m very grateful that our children and school staff are protected but it’s sad how much things have changed in such a short time.

[@alissaconant7995]

@@TammyD123 I graduated HS in 2008 and we had zero cameras and security guards. I can name plenty of occasions where I snuck off campus early or just wandered the halls instead of being in class. My kids are now in Elementary school and every hallway has cameras, the front doors to the school are locked tight after the first bell rings and you have to be buzzed in after identifying yourself if you drop your kid off late. Gates surround the entire property and all kids wear a badge that scans them in everytime they walk through a door on campus they even have security guards walking the halls throughout the day. They even have school shooter drills where they practice the teacher barring the door and all of the sudents hide in the classroom away from the windows...its horrifying as a mother to learn that they have to practice for the possibility that someone might come and shoot up the school...when I was a kid I was under the impression that being caught on fire was a normal occurance and thats why we needed to learn stop drop and roll and quicksand was common.

That opening statement by his attorney was absolutely disgusting. Imagine any kid who had to relocate and make new friends doing this...there would be vicious murders daily in schools.

[@memawknowsbest4978]

I was thinking the same thing. I went to 17 different schools before I graduated. The shortest time at one was 3 days, second shortest 1 week. Being the new kid isn't that traumatic, and my parents divorced, both remarried to people I didn't particularly care for (especially my stepfather who was abusive), and I never killed anyone. The fact that he tried to do the same thing to a female guard while he being held for trial just screams that this kid was a serial killer in the making. Not saying he didn't have some trauma in his past, but he has no business ever being released from prison.

@@memawknowsbest4978 Perfectly put! The stress of moving,family upheaval, being a teenager etc are reasonable excuses for skipping school,getting snarky with parents / teachers,and just being bratty in general.

[@KnottyCeltic]

It's hard to imagine those kind of thoughts (much less actions) going through a 14 year old's mind. The way he laid out her body is that of a seasoned serial killer. And then for him to do everything he did in broad daylight is just unbelievable. He was definitely destined to become a serial killer with skills and thoughts like that.

This was definitely one of the most disturbing stories I've heard you tell, but with an additional bit for me. I was working on a show at a theater near there, and I drove through Danvers/Salem everyday, and I think I might have arrived there just about on October 22nd, and I never heard about this happening. Thanks for the great, if creepy, channel. I really enjoy your take on things.
