Criminal Justice

Consider that you are on a case where a child is on trial for the murder of his own father. You have a son of your own and have a very close relationship with him. You realize, though, that though you cannot understand how a child could kill his father, this case could fall under a defense of excuse. These cases typically seek to excuse acts committed by defendants who should not be held criminally responsible for their actions because they were too young or because their mental state prevented them from understanding the consequences of their actions. The law recognizes youthful age as a criminal defense under certain circumstances. Knowing what you do about the case, the defense of excuse, and your own relationship with your child, what is your opinion on how a child should be charged?
