In my opinion, It appears that this piece of shit may have admitted to multiple acts upon this child prior to suffocating her to death and then raping her. I am guessing this is where the multiple charges come into play. He was found guilty of 16 total charges.
My immediate thoughts go to the death penalty whenever a child is murdered. I always seem to struggle with the back and forth dilemma of considering life/death for any juvenile. There is the premise of not knowing any better that reigns supreme in my mind. Every case is different when it pertains to juvenile defendants and I fully believe that mental health and upbringing play a huge part.
However, I am satisfied with the sentence of life; let someone study him.
