here are some things in the story I do not understand
"The boy, who faces two counts of premeditated murder, did not act on the spur of the moment, St. Johns Police Chief Roy Melnick said. Police are looking into whether he might have been abused.
"I'm not accusing anybody of anything at this point," he said Saturday. "But we're certainly going to look at the abuse part of this. He's 8 years old. He just doesn't decide one day that he's going to shoot his father and shoot his father's friend for no reason. Something led up to this.""
"In a sign of the emotional and legal complexities of the case, police are pushing to have the boy tried as an adult even as they investigate possible abuse, Melnick said. If convicted as a minor, the boy could be sent to juvenile detention until he turns 18.
"We're going to use every avenue of the law that's available to us, but we're also looking at the human side," he said."
"Melnick said police got a confession, but Brewer said police overreached in questioning the boy without representation from a parent or attorney and did not advise him of his rights."
They are looking into possible abuse but yet they want him tried as an adult?????
And why would the courts even allow this to continue if they believe his rights have been violated?

What is really sad is that if there is abuse no one will want to believe it because he was so well liked. It is always the ones no one would suspect it of that do it.
I am praying for this child. Not just him but the entire community there. The judges, lawyers, police, all that will be involved in a trial.
I have an 8 year old grandson. I cannot imagine that he would be capable of anything like this. Even if he had access to, or knew how to use a weapon.

I know what you mean. That is why I strongly believe there has to be something EXTREME behind this all. An 8 year old just does not kill anyone let alone his father. Even if something is going on to bring him to the point he felt that killing them was his only choice MOST 8 year olds are NOT going to do it. SOMETHING has to be seriously wrong.

Yes, and I think that child needs counsel as well.
