Mmmm i guess this all comes down to whether a person thinks a 14 year old is fully capable of understanding their actions as well as the implications. To my mind he can behave as much as he likes afterwards but it doesn't make him any less of a murderer. I wasn't able to read the article (think your link might be broken) but to be honest if he was given that sentence its probably for good reason - judges aren't idiots, they have A LOT to consider before delivering their verdict - but even on the face of it, killing your own parents is just.....well it speaks for itself. Only you can know if your judgement is overly sympathetic but if the alternative is having this guy back out on the streets i know which side of the fence im on.
