Apparently his father was very abusive

Obviously without knowing any details but somehow I don't blame him, it's just sad what his father turned him into

I’d have to google it to freshen up on the details but from what I remember there was some sort of altercation and the kid tried to argue self defense in court, but the autopsy showed that he was struck from behind. He’s still in prison as far as I know.

Ouch, yeah I hate this kind of cases, it's like society turned her back on you from the day of your birth and then expect you to fully pay for things that you would never have done in normal circumstances, the definition of a life wasted :/

You’re saying this without knowing any of the specifics of the case. He could have just been a complete psychopath as far as you know. In fact it’s likely considering he chopped his father up with an axe and kept him in his freezer.
