The Teen Killer Trial
In February 2019, a 14-year-old stabbed his aunt to death during a family reunion in Arizona. He was charged as an adult with first degree murder, and confessed to the crime. But in an unprecedented trial where mental health was not admissible, one family was split on either side of the courtroom as this unraveled in front of a jury, with an unexpected outcome. Emotional testimony and words came from all sides, including the young defendant himself.
