^ What are your thoughts about the sentencing, Six?
I have mixed feelings.
If the teen girl was abused and neglected by her parents and the older brother whom she killed, and she shows signs of confusion and trauma related to the murder, I can see how treatment and counseling are probably better options than more punishment and confinement. I wish her well.
On the other hand, whether or not it's a result of having been violated and neglected by her own family -- if this girl is so cold as to be able to shoot her older brother and leave her 3-year-old sister home alone in the same room with his bleeding corpse (and is unemotional about it), I'm skeptical that she's treatable and not a danger to society.
