It depends on how we view the teen.
If we demonise him or see him as a troubled, neglected child, a victim also.
Do we know that Y is neurotypical?
There is so little reported on the evidence relating to Y due to restrictions, we might be missing some significant elements.
Upthread was a discussion about awareness of action and consequence, being taught at school and knowing this from the martial arts. But this isn’t necessarily the case with mental health concerns, as I know from my own experience.
Is it possible that AW is no angel, maybe with some dark secrets to protect, but not a murderer? And maybe JC too? But is it also possible that Y has entered their lives and totally destabilised it, abused Logan to the extent that it’s led to his death?
Is this why AW shouted “you’ve done nothing wrong” - was she concerned for his mental health, does he have a condition, was he known to CAMHS?
Is it possible that AW and JC are deeply involved, covering, hiding evidence, disposing of body etc, but both knowing that Logan died at the hands of Y, and they’re protecting him on account of a condition?
If this were the case, would they still progress their own evidence at trial the way that they have?
Just thinking…
(for context - no generalities intended in respect to mental health and the potential to murder)
