It is the person, not the tool!
A 15-year-old New Mexico teenager accused of stabbing his 12-year-old playmate to death pleaded not guilty Friday to a murder charge.
…Mercer said her client’s low-functioning mental capabilities made her question whether he understands the proceedings or his rights, an issue she has raised at his grand jury indictment earlier this month.
…Valencia County Assistant District Attorney Darlene Weed said she was requesting a large bond because of severity of the injuries. Weed said Alex Madrid of Albuquerque was stabbed repeatedly in the head by an object similar to a screwdriver. Madrid also was hit hard enough in the torso to suffer a punctured lung and appeared to have been struck with a tire iron, she said.
According to prosecutors, the teen stabbed Madrid last month before placing his body under a mattress in a rural field at Meadow Lake, about 40 miles south of Albuquerque.
If he has mental problems and can’t understand what he did was wrong, the MORE reason he should NEVER be part of society.
Oh and it appears from the story the 15-year-old killer had a young daughter.
Yeah, but guns cause crime, and only “Gun Death” counts!
