I see a lot of comments about this child being a psychopath or sociopath (antisocial personality disorder). Given what sounds like "rage" during the attack, isn't it also possible that he was very angry about something in relation to his sister? For example, was he jealous? Could he have felt threatened by her? For example, did she have something on him? It seems to me that many types of people commit murder ... not only those with antisocial personality disorder. Was he resentful? For example, was he the live-in babysitter such that he could not do things that he wanted to do?
I agree, this kid is not a psychopath. He was attending school. I could believe sociopathic tendencies IF we had eidence of behavioral problems.
Here is an article on Supreme Court rulings in children sentenced to death and/or life without parole.
