Here’s the link to the video confession. Thanks Stephanie!
By now you’ve all heard about the 8-year-old Arizona boy charged with shooting his father and an adult boarder to death.
The video shows the police interrogating the boy without a child advocate present.
To those who say he was too young to know what he was doing, consider this: the 8 y/o got off his school bus, entered his home, loaded a rifle, shot his father, called his dad’s boarder into the house and then shot him too.
Then he walked over to a neighbor’s house — not to confess to what he did, but to alert the neighbor that he just found his father dead. In between all of that, he fabricated lies to cover his tracks.
Listen as he tells the police interrogator he saw a car “drive away real fast” from the house as he arrived. He describes the car in great detail.
Those actions suggests premeditation on his part.
At the end of the video, Greta informs us that the boy eventually confessed to the murders, but we don’t get to see the confession.
How does an 8-year-old gun down two grown men and then coolly fabricate lies to cover his tracks?
According to online reports, the boy and his father were avid hunters. It’s a fair assumption to make that this boy is a sociopath who was born without a conscience.
The 8-year-old will be tried as an adult.
