An example of the times we are living in...
It won't be long before 9 year olds are involved in murder investigations.
It has already happened, just very rare. However, this very famous murder isn't far off those ages.

It is an example of the times we live in. The streets are full, I mean absolutely full of "lifers". People who have been given "life" sentences.
Even if you kill your own mother with an axe in her own bed, well you can expect to serve only 2/3 of you 18 year sentence. Well, actually even only 11 in this guy's case.

This guy was sentenced today. What more can you ask for in a murder case? A premeditated act of fetching the axe, taking it upstairs and then raising it up and hitting a woman in her own bed. Ok, he was drunk, but to be honest I don't care.
