@@ShaneHeath-j3i tough take here. Happens in every state. Every municipality. Every state has its own legal quirks and thats state law. Now before you immediately jump to Federal Law supersedes State Law you are right. IF the Feds get involved. Bottom line was right where in your Miranda rights "YOUR SIGNATURE HERE" is. The second any of those boys signed it (which is they didn't "waive their right to an attorney" but they had the right to remain silent.) Interrogation begins right there. Refuse to talk. Know your rights. The one on the paper the one they read you. Anything you say can and WILL be used AGAINST you in a COURT OF LAW. Do you understand these rights as they've been read to you? "Yes" Or in this case a Signature. Its printed on paper for the boys and the interrogator to really try best they can to make them understand their own rights. When they (interrogator) receives an affirmative they start doing their job. To build a case a timeline etc. Minors are tried as adults more than you might think. 15 is a little young for that but it depends based on many factors. An interrogation tries to establish these factors. And most minors tried as adults are because of homicides.

It really depends on the country you reside in, to be fair. In the USA yes you have certain rights under the constitution such as pleading the fifth amendment so as not to self incriminate, and the fact that a jury is not allowed to determine culpability based solely on a person's decision to not answer police questions and remain silent. In places like the UK, these are not present. The jury is allowed to consider choosing to not answer questions during interrogation when deciding culpability on points of law, and there is no protection against self incrimination.

Police can and will withhold the nature of what they actually have on you during an interview because oftentimes not knowing how much evidence they have against you makes the criminal more worried and easier to crack. And yes, you can't interview a minor without a legal guardian present because they aren't deemed fully able to advocate for themselves in terms of knowing how to ask for a lawyer etc, this is also the case for the USA, however the exact legal technicalities about interviewing minors varies depending on the state obviously.

Body language is a really good way to get onto people's emotions and how they're truly feeling, but is really delicate as minds do truly behave differently. People with ADHD, such as us, autism, APD, DID, or even due to stress or medications can behave completely out of track.

He's a 15 year old boy. If he were a 35 year old man, a similar lack of remorse would be far more chilling.

This is especially true given how the idea that "boys will be boys" is now treated as if it's somehow not only not true but also a moral wrong.

At any age, murdering your entire family is indescribably evil and at 15 years old, you DEFINITELY know better. Also, by the way, "boys will be boys" is not true psychologically. There is not much difference psychologically between boys and girls, especially when they're young. It's just that society, people like YOU, accept more from boys than they do from girls, which gives boys permission to grow up doing whatever they want with no consequences while that behavior is nipped in the bud with girls. And it is morally wrong to excuse boys' behavior just because they are boys. Overall, get help.

@@Mr___X your gender and age doesn't change it, when i was 15 and other 15 years olds i knew all had the ability to feel sadness/feelings. if anything kids/teens get more emotional than adults. the boy just witnessed two children get killed that were his brothers and shot both his parents, of course he would feel emotional, just like if someone had cheated on him with his girlfriend for example or broke his xbox, or shot is pet, teenagers/kids, female/male they do have emotion, this isn't expecting maturity, it's just a natural response kids/teens aren't robots with no emotion. the boy clearly didn't care about his family, that's why he was able to kill them in the first place which isn't normal teen/kid behaviour. at the very least you would think the boy would showed/expressed that he cared they were dead, but he didn't, which is again not normal behaviour.

First and most important one was when I was 16, I was accused of stealing a laptop from a classroom and both - principal and my teacher pointed fingers at me during talking to the police simply because they had no actual suspect and I was their best choice since I was always disobedient to their unfairness and always rudely spoke to them in such scenarios, so I was a easy suspect. I was trying to prove that I didnt need their pathetic school laptop when I had the whole ass setup and a secondary laptop at my house and other tech too. Police searched every corner of house in attempt to find a stolen laptop but of course they couldnt, conveniently enough they saw my room as well and all the tech I had and any reasonable human being would conclude I, in fact, wouldnt risk stealing a basic school laptop when I had everything in the first place, more than I needed.
