No Tita.  You do what your attorney tells you to do.  What this kid did was despicable but he was a member of a group.  What happened to the other kids involved in this?  Just because they were under 18 doesn't mean they should walk and only the "adult" be prosecuted.  They should all be subject the mental tests to see if they are potentially  the next mass murderer.  I think it is a fact that abusers start off killing defenseless animals.   It is easy to say just lock him up but at some point he will be let out. His mental problems should be dealt with now and not later.
