This is the article I found. in this case two kids under 18 are being tried as adults for the murders of 70-year-old Paul Brian Brooks and his 69-year-old wife, Margaret. The two kids are Anthony Zarro, 17, and Christopher Allen, 16. These two boys are being charged with first degree murder and are going to be tried as adults for this case. The couple died from being stabbed and blunt force trauma to the head. From what i have read there are no real motives for this crime, it was just an act of violence. these two boys a couple days before this crime had ran away from a camp for youths at risk, so this is probably not the first bad thing they have done, although it did not say what they were there for. The family issued a statement which is in my second link if you would like to read it. The trail has not yet finished so this is all i know.
Brain research could play a role in this case, because this kids diffidently have something something wrong with them, or their brain is wired differently, because that's the only way i can wrap my head around how somebody could do this to another person for no evident reason. It makes me wonder if these kids are fit to stand trail, or if they are mentally ill.
If it were illegal to try kids as adults i think it would change this case a lot, sense they are currently being tried as adults. These kids would get a lot less severe punishment for what they did, whether that's right or wrong is why there is so much controversy if we should try kids as adults. On the other hand if we could try kids as adults this case would not change much. this is a great example of why we should be allowed to try kids as adults, where they make such irrational decisions.
If i was a judge i would listen to this case and i would diffidently try these kids as adults because what they did has not rational excuse.
