Weekly Reading, November 18th, 2008

This week I read an article on CNN.com called Boy, 8, charged with murder says he came home, found men dead. Its all about an 8 year old boy, whose name is not specified, who is found guilty to killing his father and a man who rented their apartment. In a recorded questioning session the boy admits to killing his father, "After I shot him once he was still moving, I think I shot him again." He says that he shot his father Vincent Romero and the renter Tim Romans with a .22-caliber handgun. After his confession he started bawling and couldn't continue for further questioning. In the first 12 minutes of the interview, the boy exclaims that when he returned home from school after going for a walk he got there and both of the men were dead. He then ran to a neighbors house where they called 911. Although he later admits that he murdered them although police don't know the cause of this. Charges have not yet been pressed especially since defense attorneys bash the police for not giving the boy a lawyer for his questioning session.
