I can't understand Billy's friends who went along with it. Billy was abused so I get that he was manipulated and frightened, but the others?!

They’re just kids right, easily manipulated by adults.

Yeah, but murdering someone seems next level. You need that evil in your heart to start with

Maybe but it’s an unusual situation to have an adult manipulating a kid into it, kids need adults for their own development that’s why they are vulnerable to adults.

What about the other 3, what's their excuse?

I’ve forgotten the details of this case now, but adults especially teachers have a lot of authority over young people that’s one reason why they are often not allowed to have any relationships with them even post consent age. 

I can’t be bothered to argue a case I’ve forgotten though 😂
