@patrickstewart6260 Gein was more recent than that. He killed 2 people, which technically doesn’t make him a serial killer. He mostly just dug up graves and used them for his little furniture projects. Either way, he was one sick puppy. He was odd his whole life but people thought he was harmless.

Smashing someone’s head with a sledgehammer makes you adult enough to make your own decisions in your defense and do time like an adult. Do adult crimes, do adult time.

@PinkGrammarGirl The cop gave him the opportunity to say nothing, but he wanted to talk. He's old enough to make that decision for himself IMO. I wouldn't advise it, but if that's what he wants to do, let him.

@Grizzles1 A tool for hammering sludge, duh.

@ferociousfil5747 Depends on the laws of the state. I agree you should always have a lawyer present, but as far as speaking to law enforcement under 18, I'm not sure. I know there are conditions where it is allowed, and every state is different.

@georgejones3526 Well, he killed his parent, so there's that.

@PaintHerWhite Do you know that his civil rights were violated? The guy is doing his job, investigating a murder. That could very well be legal in that state and he could have declined representation and spoke voluntarily. You all immediately think the police are trying to get over on him somehow when you have no idea what the circumstances are that led him to being questioned alone.

@georgejones3526 I will draw this line, everyone knows murder is wrong from a very early age. By the time you’re in high school, you really have no excuse. All I’m saying is that there are some circumstances where interrogating a minor happens and is legal. I don’t have a law degree so I can’t cite specific laws that allow that, but it does happen legally. Everyone just jumps to the conclusion that somehow his rights are being violated here when you have no idea what the laws are in that particular state. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t, but the cop is just doing his job. I don’t see him trying to manipulate him, he’s just asking him questions.
