Yeah I knew that throwing rotten tomatoes over the wall into my neighbours garden was wrong when I was about 5 so I'm pretty sure I'd of known kidnapping, torturing and murdering (plus possibly sexual assaulting as well although they couldn't tell because of the state his body was in) wasn't the right thing to do at 10.

It's not right from wrong i am arguing, its the consequences. At that age, violent video games, movies and home life dis-associate children from the impacts of violence. This is what i am saying is an issue, that the true horror of the crime was not able to be comprehended by 10 year olds. I know for me that when i was 10 i wasn't able to comprehend the finality of death.

Although i think the case for improper socialisation leading to warped views on right and wrong is extremely convincing as well. Hard to prove though, i can get studies if you would want them. However, the complex nature of concepts and empathy being difficult to comprehend at such a young age is a much less controversial analysis, hence why i used it as a basis of my argument.

Also, we have had the privilege of a good up brining i am sure, these kids, most certainly did not and were most certainly brought up in a completely differently to what we were. It is therefore possible, i would argue logical, that the value systems would have been warped.

Alex DeLarge was deemed a 'product of his enviroment' when he committed murder in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "A Clockwork Orange" and they 'rehabilitated' poor Alex too.

His 'new' identity will remain on release if found not guilty, if he is guilty. It depens who wins the election.
