I'm quite a few years late to this. I knew the younger teen. My best friend and I were actually very close to him right before he got moved to this foster home. He was like a brother to me at the time and I still have a letter from him from when he was locked up early on. He was always sweet to me and my friend. The only time we knew any violence from him was when he had gotten in a fight defending somebody at school. He had hit the SRO in the middle of the fight and got expelled for it. From my understanding he had never meant to hit the SRO but it happened as an accident in all of the commotion. I'm not here to defend him as it was so long ago, but I wanted to give some insight from somebody who knew him right before it happened.

Almost every person that has committed a horrific crime has people that really liked them because they were good to them in various ways. I'm not suggesting this of you of course, but this is why it regularly happens that people who have been on the good side of such criminals defend them or can't believe they would do such a thing.
